Important information. Contracts for difference (CFDs) are speculative products that are highly leveraged and carry significantly greater risk than ungeared investments such as share trading. You should not invest in CFDs unless you are experienced in equity derivatives and understand and are comfortable with the risks of investing in CFDs. You should obtain your own financial, legal, taxation and other professional advice as to whether CFDs are an appropriate investment for you.
