lyong spokesperson and senior relationship manager from cmc markets welcome cindy
thank you sage well with your experience working with financial planners brokers and
bankers associated with pretty markets i'm sure the viewers are keen to hear your insights would
you please give a brief on the various instruments that people can trade via your platform please
sure cmc offers uh two trading platforms cfds or contracts for difference is um we can change
trade anything from forex indices shares commodities treasuries and now even crypto
stock broking on the upper hand allows customers to trade domestic and international shares
all on the one trading platform oh fantastic thank you very much
short sharp and to the point in your opinion when should one do the cfd
trading and when should one do stock broking you mentioned they're both available on your platform
that's exactly right yes cfds tends to lend itself more to your sophisticated
investors and the reason why i say that is because there is an element of leverage in it and it also
allows you to go long or short depending on your view of the market cfd is traditionally a
trading product versus something like a shared stock broking account where you buy and hold
all right that's very interesting insight sir thank you so much for sharing and with some of
the commodities having a downswing of late i think cfds could have been interesting with some uh put
strategies and calls it's it's quite a different strategy i think involved with cfd trading
um but how do you help your clients in reducing the trading costs yeah thank you cmc marketers
always maintain um at tight margins more recently we've reduced our brokerage to
zero for key international markets by that i mean the us canadian japanese and uk markets
and and second to that is that we've also been awarded cannes stars online broker of the year
for 11 years in a row which is just phenomenal the reason for this is because we aim to build
a more rounded investor so it's not just the cost where we're reducing we're looking to provide our
our customers with the tools and research to make an informed decision
fantastic thank you very much and i'm excited to hear about your platform as well would you
please elaborate more on the tailored training you provide for new and experienced traders at your

yes exactly um for investors new to market cmc markets offer investors um
access to array of educational tools and that that's from ebooks podcasts videos
to your platform quick guides all designed to help the investor understand financial markets however
in my opinion the best way to actually learn is to have a play it's free to set up an account
