Leverage/Gearing:
Investors gain access to larger exposures to underlying securities by means of leverage/gearing.

CFDs offer a potentially large exposure to the underlying security. Investors are able to outlay a relatively small amount of capital (in the form of a margin) to secure an exposure to the underlying security. This will have the effect of magnifying profits or losses and consequentially carries significant risk. The required margin per reference instrument is available from NedTrade, but the margin will range from 8% to 100%, depending on the underlying reference instrument.

Trading any market direction:
Investors are able to take a view on the market direction.

Nedbank Capital CFDs allow both long and short positions, giving investors the ability to exploit both trading and hedging opportunities from increasing and decreasing security prices.
