Before trading Contracts for Difference, Spread Bets or Foreign Exchange (ForEx or FX), you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience and risk appetite and ensure that you fully understand the risks involved. These products may not be suitable for all types of investor and only for those over the age of 18. You trade on margin which means a small deposit (in percentage terms) gives a big position and losses or profits are therefore magnified.

 

You can make or lose many times more than your deposit (margin) and so by their nature these products are high risk. Trading in Contracts for Difference/Spread bets/FX is generally considered suitable only for the more experienced investor since trading is leveraged, meaning that whilst a small price movement in your favour can result in a high return on the deposit requirement, a small price movement against you may result in substantial losses.

 

In some circumstances you may be liable for a greater sum than your initial capital invested. Past performance is not necessarily a guide to future performance. The value of shares or income from your positions may go down as well as up due to the volatility of world markets, economic conditions/data and/or changes in the rate of exchange in the currency in which the investments are denominated.

 

You may not necessarily get back the amount you invested. Trading can result in incurring liabilities in excess of your initial investment as if you fail to meet any margin requirement, your position may be liquidated and you will be responsible for any resulting losses. You should continually be satisfied that any investment remains suitable for you, in light of your circumstances and financial position and only speculate with money you can afford to lose.
