Share CFD trading holds some of the following benefits:
Advantages
Broad range of products so you can always find new opportunities across different time zones.
Shares CFDs are a great way to hedge other positions and, with leverage, are less capital-intensive.
Shares CFDs are a simpler way to short-sell share CFDs, which, combined with leveraged trading, offers you trading opportunities on falling share CFDs prices.
Risks
Leveraged trading imposes additional risk of loss to your capital
No ownership interest – you don’t own the underlying asset when you trade CFDs or Margin FX, so you are not entitled to some benefits ordinary investors would be.
Spreads -while we provide exchange spreads for our CFDs, like any market the underlying spread may widen during periods of volatility, increasing your costs.
