Standard Bank Webtrader
Webtrader offers trading in Contracts for difference (CFDs) with the underlying instruments being 5600+ different stocks and Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) across on 26 international exchanges as well as 15 international indices.
CFDs are a flexible and dynamic tool for investing in any market condition.
They provide a way to hedge out the risk a portfolio is exposed to as well as to speculate when the belief is that the price of the underlying instrument will change. CFDs are leveraged instruments.
This means that you are fully exposed to the price movements of the underlying instrument without having to pay the full price of that instrument.
CFDs, therefore, offer the potential to make a higher return from a smaller initial cash outlay than investing directly in the underlying instrument.
CFDs require only a small initial margin to secure a trade.
