What is a CFD?
A Contract for Difference (CFD) is a financial derivative that allows you to speculate on the rising or falling prices of fast-moving global financial markets. You don't buy the asset; you buy a contract that pays the difference in price between when you open and close the position. In the UK, CFDs are subject to Capital Gains Tax, unlike spread betting.
