Account types

CFDs

CFD trading allows you to speculate on whether the price of a financial asset will go up or down. This allows you to potentially profit in both rising and falling markets, making a profit if you’re right or a loss if you’re wrong.

CFD trading is particularly attractive because it doesn’t require the same major financial outlay as actually buying the asset you’re speculating on. The price you pay depends on the margin, which is typically a fraction of the asset’s value.

Under UK tax law, CFDs are treated like an investment - meaning profits are subject to capital gains tax, and losses can be offset against profits.

Spread Bets

Spread betting also enables you to predict whether the price of financial instruments will increase or decrease without owning the underlying asset.

Instead of buying or selling the asset itself, you place a bet on the direction of its price movement. Your profit or loss is determined by how far the market moves in your favour or against you, measured in points.

Under UK tax law, profits from spread betting are not subject to capital gains tax, and losses cannot be offset against profits.
