UNLEASH TIMING TRADING OPPORTUNITIES THROUGH CFDs
CFD related trading and hedging is one of the fastest growing areas in the global stock and derivatives markets. Also known as the future of today’s stock and derivatives trading, CFDs have quickly become a popular and preferred investment asset for many retail investors and traders around the globe: Germany, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Australia, France and Portugal. Similarly, they have long been a popular asset for professional and institutional market players.

A CFD (Contract for Difference) is a financial derivative that is traded on margin, enabling investors and traders to participate on the movement of shares and index prices without having the ownership of the underlying asset. It is an agreement between a buyer and a seller to exchange the difference in value of a particular instrument between when the contract is opened and when it is closed. The difference is determined by reference to the “underlying” price of an instrument – a share or an index.

KEY BENEFITS OF CFDS TRADING VERSUS STOCK TRADING
Custodian Fees: Most stock trading establishments charge a yearly custodian fee for holding foreign stocks to cover the administration of holding the stock for you. Additionally, you may also have to pay cross-board transfers for stocks and for other corporate action such as dividends and stock splits. CFDs are not subject to these costs, but are faster and more convenient to trade than physical stocks.

No Stamp Duty: As you are not physically buying stock, in many countries profits from CFDs are currently not subject to the same taxation as profits from stocks. This is one of the major contributing factors to the popularity of CFDs in some countries.

Leveraged Asset Class: This means that you are fully exposed to the price movements of the underlying asset without having to pay the full upfront cost of the trade. Leverage, however, involves more risk than a direct investment in the underlying asset. It is therefore important to understand the inherit risk and to implement an appropriate risk-management strategy.
