Shares
Global shares, longer hours as CFDs
Share CFDs follow the price of a listed company. You can take a long or short view without buying the share in a custody account. Hours follow the home exchange, and some names offer extended CFD hours. Corporate actions can adjust the contract.
01 — Shares
A view on the company
Earnings, guidance and sector news move the share. The CFD tracks that price, it does not give you a vote or a dividend cheque.

Dividends and splits
When the underlying share goes ex-dividend or splits, the CFD is adjusted so the economic result stays fair.

How a share CFD differs from owning stock
You are trading the price difference. That changes what you receive and what you risk.
- No share certificate and no shareholder vote.
- Dividend adjustments are cash on the CFD, not shares.
- You can sell short if the symbol allows it.
- Losses can exceed a small margin deposit when the move is large.
A practical checklist
Company names look alike. Confirm the ticker and the venue before you send the order.
- Match the symbol to the company you mean.
- Note the session clock on the ticket.
- Read the margin for the size you typed.
- Watch earnings dates. Gaps are common that morning.

FAQ
Do I own the shares?
No. A share CFD is a contract on the price. Ownership, voting and brokerage custody stay outside this ticket.
Why did my position change overnight?
Financing on a held CFD, or a corporate-action adjustment, can change the cash on the position even when the price looks unchanged.
Can I trade any company?
Only symbols listed on the desk. If a search returns nothing, that name is not offered.
