Higher Risk Investments

Financial Spread Betting and CFD Trading provide potential for higher returns. Paying a margin for your investments rather than the full value allows you to make larger postions. However, this type of investment is much riskier as profits and losses are magnified in exactly the same way.




The value of your investments can go down as well as up. You may not get back all the funds you invest.
