CFD & High-Risk Investment Warning
High-risk products - please read carefully
Some platforms mentioned on this site (including Trading 212) offer Contracts for Difference (CFDs) in addition to standard investment accounts. CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. The majority of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs. You should not trade CFDs unless you fully understand how they work and can afford to lose your entire investment. The CFD loss percentage for each provider is disclosed on their own website and is updated regularly - always check the provider's current figure before trading.
Nothing on this site recommends or encourages CFD trading. Where we discuss or link to platforms that offer CFDs, it is solely in the context of their regulated investment products (stocks, ETFs, ISAs).
