Trade whole economies in a single ticket
Cash index CFDs give you exposure to the world's benchmark equity markets without owning a single share — no expiry dates, no rollover contracts to manage.
A wider market lens
Track leading equity benchmarks
Use cash index CFDs to express a view on major US, European and Asian equity markets without selecting individual company shares.
How cash indices work
A cash index CFD tracks the spot value of an underlying stock index. Unlike futures contracts, cash indices have no expiry — you hold the position for as long as your strategy requires, subject to daily swap charges (waived entirely on Islamic accounts).
Indices are ideal for expressing a macro view: trade the US technology cycle through NAS100, European industrial strength through DAX40, or Asian sentiment through JP225 and HK50.
