CFD Trading

CFD Trading

Contracts for Difference (CFDs), unlike other forms of traditional trading, enable you to go short so you can potentially profit from falling prices as well as hedge your portfolio.

Additionally, as CFDs are a leveraged product, you can potentially enhance your return on investment. At City Index, we offer CFDs on over 12,000 markets.

¹With leverage, your losses are magnified in exactly the same way as your gains if the market moves against you and can result in losses exceeding your initial outlay. Please ensure you fully understand the risks involved.

Spread betting, CFD trading and FX are leveraged products which can result in losses greater than your initial deposit. Ensure you fully understand the risks.

*Spread betting and CFD trading are exempt from UK stamp duty. Spread betting is also exempt from UK Capital Gains Tax. However, tax laws are subject to change and depend on individual circumstances. Please seek independent advice if necessary.
