Best Online Investment Brokerage Accounts in Singapore
When you purchase stocks, you have to take ownership of the stocks, be it in your custodian or CDP account. When you trade a CFD, you do not own the underlying shares. Rather, you speculate on the share price by buying a contract between you and the CFD provider.
When trading CFDs, you also enjoy the use of leverage whereby you do not have to fork out the full market value of the share to make the trade.
