CFD Questions and Answers
CFDs (contracts for difference) are leveraged derivatives which track the performance of underlying assets – such as stocks, stock market indexes, commodities, forex and cryptocurrencies. You do not own the stocks or other underlying assets. A CFD is simply a contract between you and a broker.
CFDs let you speculate on increases in the value of underlying assets (go long) or on decreases in value (go short).
Because you can open short positions, CFDs provide a tool for hedging long stock and index investments over short periods of market volatility.

Swiss brokers typically offer CFDs which use stocks, stock indexes (like the SMI, NASDAQ or DAX), commodities (like gold or crude oil) or currency pairs (forex) as their underlying assets. There are also CFD brokers which offer CFDs based on cryptocurrencies.
Some brokers offer CFD options which are based on CFDs rather than actual assets like stocks or futures. A possible advantage of CFD options over standard options is that they can be used for positions smaller than the minimum size required by options exchanges.
CFDs are a contract between you and a broker. You do not own or hold any claim to the underlying assets. For this reason, it is very important to use reputable brokers. Many foreign CFD brokers which advertise to residents of Switzerland are not fully-licensed banks and have questionable depositor protection. To find all Swiss CFD brokers which are licensed, FINMA-regulated Swiss banks, just select the CFD filter in the online trading comparison.
Yes. Many brokers offer free demo accounts which let you simulate CFD trading using real market data but simulated money. Using free demo accounts before opening real trading accounts is recommended. Using these helps you understand what CFDs, CFD derivatives and trading orders are offered. It also allows you to compare costs and familiarize yourself with the risks of CFD trading.
