Anlegen mit CFDs

'CFDs', 'Contracts for Difference', are new types of derivative investment instruments. Private investors trade with them almost in the same way as institutional investors. With CFDs, investors can participate in movements of stocks, indices, bonds, commodities and currencies without having to own the respective underlying asset. The special attraction of CFDs lies in their leverage effect: With a comparatively small stake (margin), significantly larger equivalent values can be moved on the stock exchange. They also allow investors to speculate not only on rising prices, but also on falling prices.
