What a share CFD gives you — and what it does not

You get price exposure to the company, in either direction, using margin rather than the full contract value. You do not get ownership: no share certificate, no voting rights, no shareholder communications. Dividends are handled as a cash adjustment — credited on long positions and debited on short ones, on the ex-dividend date.

Short without borrowing

No stock loan, no locate and no recall risk. Shorting is mechanically identical to buying.

Sector and event views

Trade an earnings reaction, a product cycle or a sector rotation in a single named instrument.

Hedging a holding

Offset a long-held equity position without selling it and realising the tax event.

Single-name risk is concentrated risk. Retail leverage on shares is capped at 1:5 precisely because individual companies gap on news in a way indices rarely do. An earnings surprise or a regulatory decision can move a share double digits between one close and the next open, straight through a stop level.

Corporate actions

Splits, consolidations, rights issues and mergers all require an adjustment to open positions so their economic value is preserved. We apply adjustments in line with the terms of the corporate action and notify affected clients. In some cases a position must be closed at the prevailing price — a delisting, for example, leaves nothing to price against.

All instruments are contracts for difference. CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. Contract specifications on the platform are authoritative.
