CFDs Explained

The "CFD", or "Contract for Difference", was developed to allow clients to receive all the benefits of owning a stock without having to physically own the stock itself.The other major benefit of trading a CFD is the fact that the client can trade on margin.Using the example above, a client purchasing $50,000 worth of CFD Shares will only be asked for $2,500 margin.

CFD Performance
 
As with Shares, CFD investors benefit from normal market movements.

Margin

Unlike physically purchasing stocks, clients only have to deposit approximately 5% of the value of the Shares.
