Advantages of CFDs

The exciting introduction of CFDs stems from MF Global's policy of continuous innovation and improvement for the benefit of our customers.

The combination of our experienced broking team and our state-of-the-art trading platform - eMPOWER - makes MF Global one of the leaders in the CFD market.

Every CFD in your account is revalued at the close of each business day. Any profits resulting from the revaluations are credited to your account. Losses are debited and any resulting margin calls are made.

Like the share market, you can participate in corporate actions and dividends on share CFDs. Holders of bought CFD positions receive the benefit of cash dividends. Conversely, holders of sold CFD positions must pay an amount equal to the value of any cash dividend.

You pay commission on each CFD trade. In addition you pay interest on the value of a long CFD position. When you hold a CFD position overnight, interest is charged. If you hold a short CFD position, MF Global Singapore pay you interest on the value of the sale the share would have generated. Typically this is paid at the MBR less 3% per annum. All costs are negotiable depending on volumes and frequency of trading.
