What are Index CFDs

Broad market exposure
without owning stocks.

A stock index tracks the performance of a basket of companies — the S&P 500 follows 500 of the largest US firms, the DAX tracks Germany's top 40. Trading an index CFD gives you exposure to the whole market's movement in a single instrument.

With extended trading hours and the ability to go both long and short, index CFDs are ideal for hedging portfolios, capitalising on macroeconomic events, and diversifying across uncorrelated global markets.

  • Trade rising and falling markets equally — go long or short with one click
  • Use leverage to access large index notional values from a smaller deposit
  • Hedge equity portfolios against broad market downturns efficiently
  • Diversify across 14 major stock markets worldwide in one account
