Financing

Buying and selling a marketindex underlying is comparable to executing a physical trade financed by a loan. As such, you receive income or pay financing costs on open trades.

The financing rate depends on whether your transaction is a purchase or a sale, the type of underlying and other factors such as interest rates, dividends, storage requirements and opportunity costs.

One advantage of trading via marketindex is that you only pay financing costs while an actual position is held as your financing costs are calculated on a second-by-second basis.

Financing rates are accessible from the marketindex trading application under the "Resources" menu. Marketindex trading is free of any other commissions or charges.

Calculation of financing costs

Risk Warning: marketindex offers leveraged products that carry a high degree of risk and it is possible to lose your entire investment (i.e. your total marketindex trading account balance). You should only speculate with funds that you can afford to lose. These products may not be suitable for all investors, you should therefore ensure you fully understand the risks involved, and seek independent advice where necessary.
