Financial derivatives are contracts that derive their value from an underlying asset, such as shares or indices. They include financial products such as options, futures, CFDs and spread bets.
We offer CFDs and spread betting on a variety of asset classes, including shares, indices, forex pairs and commodities. You trade on the price movement of the markets without having to own them outright.
Both are derivatives that enable you to trade on market prices, but there are also some key distinctions. Read about spread betting and CFDs before you make your decision.
