CFDs or 'contract for difference' are now a very popular trading vehicle in Australia. Macquarie Prime provides CFD investors with direct online access to gain long or short exposure to ASX listed shares. To trade CFDs in either market direction you generally only need a small percentage of the share value.
Important information
CFDs are highly leveraged and carry a high level of risk. Additionally, any profit or loss accruing to the investor will be adjusted to take into account certain fees and charges. Investors should not invest in CFDs unless they are experienced in equity derivatives and understand and are comfortable with the risks of investing in CFDs. Investors should read the Product Disclosure Statement for Macquarie CFDs, particularly "Risks You Should Consider", and obtain their own financial advice as to whether CFDs are an appropriate investment for them.
