The new offering lets clients invest and trade across asset classes from a single account, according to CMC Markets. The company said the platform is part of a strategy focused on breadth, performance and usability, and that clients can trade CFDs and options alongside the share and ETF investing.
Pricing and scope
CMC said investing in 12,000+ global shares and ETFs carries 0% commission, with no platform or holding fees, and that a 0.5% FX conversion fee may apply. It also said it is now offering 0% commission on UK and EU share CFDs, excluding Greece. The announcement did not set out jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction eligibility beyond that Greece exclusion.
Executive comments
Chris Cheverall, Head of UK at CMC Markets, said clients might want to own shares in companies such as Nvidia as a long-term strategy or trade those same markets more actively using leverage. He said: 'By offering investing and trading side by side, we're making it easier for clients to choose the approach that suits them.' Vaughn Affonso, Co-Head of Dealing, said: 'Removing commission on UK and European CFD shares allows our clients to trade more efficiently.'
Risk warning
The announcement includes a warning that invested capital is at risk. It also warns that spread bets and CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage, and that 68% of retail investor accounts lose money when spread betting and/or trading CFDs with this provider.
