Fees for trading stock CFDs with IG

Commission

Commission fees vary depending on the market you trade. These are charged separately from the spread.

Overnight funding

A fee is applied when holding positions beyond the daily cut-off time. This applies to all share CFD positions held overnight.

Currency conversion fee

The fee for trading shares in a foreign currency. This applies when trading in currencies different from your account.

Possible risks of trading stock CFDs

Prices can swing rapidly

Market volatility can cause share values to change quickly, creating substantial losses.

You may face margin calls

If positions move against you, you'll need to deposit additional funds immediately or your positions will be automatically closed.

Gap risk is significant

Share prices can gap between market sessions, potentially bypassing stop-loss orders.

Stock CFDs vs stock trading

Stock CFDs let you trade on margin and go short as well as long, without owning the actual shares. With stock trading, you buy and sell actual shares, taking ownership of the underlying stock. You'll collect any dividends and can benefit from long-term growth.
