Maximises the Trading Potential of
CFDs

IG Markets South Africa is dropping its headline commission rate
on South African Share CFDs by 15 basis points, to just
0.2%. Share CFDs can be traded on over 130 South African
shares using the award-winning trading platform offered by IG
Markets.

Robert Bowen, Head of IG Markets South Africa, commented:

“The level of commission paid by traders inevitably has a
substantial impact on their portfolio.  IG Markets South
Africa recognises this fact reducing rates accordingly to allow our
clients to maximise their trading potential.“

CFD trading enables investors to take a position on both
positive and negative market movement.  A Contract for
Difference or CFD
essentially mirrors an individual share by following the ups and
downs of the corresponding physical share and are rapidly gaining
in popularity across South Africa. Share CFDs also have no fixed
contract period, allowing the trader to leave or begin CFD trades
at any point during trading hours.
