Why Trade Index CFDs?

Our Index CFDs allow you to take a view on the world’s largest and most important global stock markets without trading or owning the underlying shares. Indices such as the DJIA index (US30) represent a basket of the 30 largest companies listed on US stock exchanges. These Indices can be bought or sold using a CFD with the aim of generating a profit. Most traders will know the value of the S&P500 and DJIA in order to understand the current market sentiment/regime/theme, e.g. risk on or risk off, bullish or bearish. Even if you’re not an Index trader, these are markets that you’ll want to keep an eye on.

FAQs

When is the owner of an Index CFD entitled to a dividend?
If the trade was open prior to the ex-dividend date, then the client would be eligible for a dividend payment. For example, if we assume that the ex-dividend date for NAS100 Index is on the 15th May 2022. The owner of the CFD must have an open position for Index NAS100 before the 15th May 2022 and it must remain open until the 15th May 2022 in order to receive the dividend. The owner (long position) of the CFD will receive the dividend while a seller (short position) will pay the dividend.
Index CFDs are cash instruments and subject to daily rollover fees. 3 day CFD financing is applied to open positions on Friday to cover the weekend (as opposed to 3 day FX swaps applied on Wednesday rollover).
Our CFD prices come from our stack of non-bank market makers who derive prices by way of a fair value estimate of the price in the underlying market (crypto, indices, stocks etc) whilst accounting for factors such as their exposure and hedging requirements.
Indices are a measurement of the price performance of a basket of stocks from an exchange. For instance, the AUS200 follows the 200 largest companies on the Australian Stock Exchange and the US500 tracks the largest 500 companies by market cap on the following exchanges; NYSE, NASDAQ, CBOE. Our index CFDs are derivative securities that track the underlying markets as well as the pricing from our CFD providers and enable clients to speculate on price movements without having to actually own the actual futures product.
