CFD trading carries a high level of risk and is not suitable for all investors. Key risks include:
- Market volatility: Prices can move quickly and unpredictably
- Leverage risk: Both profits and losses are amplified

- No ownership: CFDs don’t provide shareholder rights or dividends
Before trading, consider whether you understand how CFDs work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money.
