CFDs

Offering many important advantages over traditional stocks, CFDs are ideal for taking advantage of short-term / intra-day or long term stock movements.

CFDs (Contracts For Difference) are becoming increasing popular with short and long term investors globally. What has compounded this popularity is that this derivative is as easy to trade as a stock.

For a normal gearing of up to 10 times, an investment of only $10,000 can command a position of $100,000 in the stock market. CFDs are traded through our SMC multi-product trading platform.
