As well as a comprehensive spread betting service, Financial Spreads also lets clients trade CFDs on stock market indices, forex, shares, commodities and treasuries. In fact, they actually offer more than 2,500 CFD markets.
Like spread betting, CFD trading offers an alternative to traditional share trading. With CFDs you do not own the underlying market and you don't put up the full value of the shares that you are buying or selling.
With normal CFD trading the main costs are the commission and the spread (the difference between the sell and buy price). The higher the commission and wider the spread, the more it costs you to trade.
If you trade CFDs with Financial Spreads note that they do not charge any commissions and they have some of the tightest spreads available. For example, the spread applied to FTSE 100 shares is just 0.05%.
With Financial Spreads CFDs you can also benefit from:
Trading an exact quantity of shares or lot sizes
Low minimum margin rates
No stamp duty*
