What are share CFDs?

A share CFD mirrors the actual performance of an underlying stock. For example, the Apple share CFD follows the price of the Apple Inc. (AAPL) stock price. 

When you invest in stocks, you pay the full price up-front to take some ownership of an asset and can only profit when the price of the stock increases. Conversely, when you trade share CFDs you’re simply trading the price movements, giving you the advantage of profiting from price movements in any direction. 

And since share CFDs also allow you to apply leverage, you don’t need large amounts of capital to gain the benefits of trading some of the world’s biggest stocks.

How do CFDs work?

A Contract for Difference (CFD) is one of the most popular forms of trading. It allows you to trade and profit from the price movements of an underlying instrument (such as stocks, forex, cryptocurrencies and commodities) without needing to physically own the asset.

You can trade CFDs in the same way as traditional forex trades, simply by picking an asset and speculating on the price direction, whether it is going up (going long) or going down (going short).

Example of a share CFD trade

Let's look at two different examples of trading shares, using traditional share trading and share CFD trading.

Example of investing in Apple shares using share trading and share CFDs

It’s important to note that whilst margin trading can amplify returns, it can also amplify losses if the markets go against you.

What is the difference between share CFDs and share trading?

Share CFDs and share trading both allow you to benefit from the rise and fall of a particular stock price, but share CFDs offer advantages that traditional share trading does not.

A key benefit is that share CFDs allow you to trade with leverage, meaning you only need to put up a small percentage of the full value of the trade in order to open the position. You also gain the freedom to go long or short, meaning you have the potential to profit whether the price of the underlying stock rises or falls. And because Share CFDs mirror all the rights of the underlying share, you also receive cash dividends.
