Short positions in single stock CFDs held overnight are subject to a borrowing fee, which is related to the cost of borrowing the underlying shares in the market. The fee varies for each CFD, depending on market conditions and the availability of shares. Instruments in high demand for short selling on the broader market can experience an increased cost of borrowing the underlying shares.
The borrowing rate will be fixed when the position is opened, at a minimum of 0.50%, and will be charged on a monthly basis. Please note that for certain corporate action events the borrowing rate on the short position may be reset to the current rate in the market upon execution of the corporate action.
If you open and close a CFD position within the same trading day, you are not subject to borrowing costs.
