Share CFD trading FAQs

When you directly trade a share, you are buying and selling a small ownership of a publicly-listed company at prices determined by the market. Share CFDs differ in that they allow you to speculate on the share’s price without taking actual ownership of the underlying asset. This allows you to trade both long and short, whereas only long trading is available with standard share trading. Additionally, because CFDs are leveraged products, you will only need to deposit a small portion of the full value of the trade in order to open a position. While this will increase any profits, it also means losses can exceed deposits. Standard share trading requires you to pay the full cost of your position upfront, so you cannot lose more than your investment. See our full Share CFDs Product Range for the AU, US and HK.
