An equity CFD is a margin traded product, which allows investors to receive all the benefits of owning an equity without actually owning the physical equity. It is traded, quoted and performs in the same manner as the physical share. To put it simply, a CFD is a way to buy and short shares using margin, ie by only putting up 10%-20% of the deal size.
