Spread betting on shares differs from the traditional investment approach of buying and owning shares. One difference is that when spread betting on shares you can utilise leverage, which means you only need to put up a percentage of the full value of the trade. This means any profit or loss you make is magnified, relative to a share's price fluctuations. Read more about spread betting versus share trading.

Contracts for Difference ("CFDs") are derivative products that allow you to trade on the price movement of underlying financial assets (such as commodities, currencies, indices, cryptocurrencies, shares, ETFs and government bonds). The trading result of a CFD (profit or loss) is calculated from the difference between the entry and exit price. With CFDs you have the opportunity to move more capital on the markets than with a direct investment in an underlying asset using the same amount of capital. Furthermore, with CFDs you can trade on both rising and falling prices of different underlyings.

CFDs give you access to a wide range of international markets at peak and off-peak times. Trade numerous products with leverage via your trading account - conveniently from the road or at home. Leverage amplies gains and losses equally.

Spread betting and CFD trading are margined products and can provide similar economic benefits to investments in shares, indices, commodities and currencies. View our article on spread betting versus CFD trading to find out which product is more suited to your trading needs.
