Hedging – While hedging is possible with spread betting, due to their tax treatment, CFD trading is more suitable for hedging. Holding costs – On most spread betting and CFD trading platforms there are holding fees. Derivatives – With both CFD trading and spread betting, investors do not own the underlying asset. With online CFD trading, you’re speculating on and exchanging the difference in price between the open and close of a contract.
