Contracts for Difference (CFDs) are a flexible way to trade on the price movements of products such as shares, indices, commodities, currencies and treasuries without owning the underlying asset.
A CFD is a contract between a buyer and a seller where the seller agrees to pay the buyer the difference between today’s share price and the share price at some date in the future. If the share price rises then the buyer receives the difference from the seller at the due date. However, if the share price falls, the buyer must pay the shortfall to the seller.
In contrast to buying shares, when you trade CFDs you don’t physically own the underlying product so you don’t have to pay the associated costs of physical ownership such as account management fees and stamp duty. This also means that you are able to sell the product and buy it back at a later stage, known as going short.
