Share CFDs

Trade selected company price movements through CFDs

Take long or short positions on approved listed companies without acquiring the underlying shares. Each contract follows the price of a reference equity and its market session.

About share CFDs

Price exposure to individual listed companies

A share represents ownership in a company. A share CFD is a separate cash settled derivative whose value is linked to that company share price. The CFD provides no ownership, voting rights or direct entitlement to dividends. BARS 8 may make cash adjustments when the underlying company completes a dividend or other corporate action.

Share prices can respond to earnings, forecasts, sector conditions, management decisions, regulation, economic data and broad market sentiment. Company specific events can cause sharp gaps when the reference exchange reopens.

Before you trade

Important share cfds information

  • Share CFD trading hours generally follow the primary listing venue and can change for holidays, halts or corporate events.

  • Earnings announcements and other company news can cause price gaps, wider spreads, reduced leverage and slippage.

  • Corporate actions including dividends, splits, mergers, rights issues and delistings can lead to cash or position adjustments.

  • Overnight financing applies according to the current schedule and may differ for long and short positions.

  • Short positions can face borrow restrictions, additional costs or forced closure when the underlying share becomes difficult to borrow.

  • Share CFDs settle in cash and provide no legal or beneficial ownership of the reference share.
