What is a CFD?
A Contract for Difference (CFD) is a popular yet complex form of trading. It offers traders and investors the opportunity to invest from a price movement in the market, without actually owning the underlying asset.
A CFD investor will trade on the market as it happens, but unlike many investments, they will not have ownership of the product which the investment is for. This is a vital difference, compared to investing in normal stocks and shares.
CFD funds can be invested in a number of ways. Investors can use a CFD provider directly, or they can invest their funds through their pension pot, such as a self-invested personal pension (SIPP).
How might I have been mis-sold?
CFDs are highly risky, complex financial products that are only suitable for experience investors. Investors do not own any assets when trading CFDs, meaning it is like a bet.
It is estimated that between 75%-80% of retail customers who trade CFDs lose money. This is compounded by the fact that many retail customers are inexperienced investors who have been convinced by their financial adviser to invest through their SIPP.
This mis-sold SIPP is often gambling entire retirement savings in a volatile and highly risky market. Financial advisors may also be working on commission to transfer funds from pension pots.
You may have been mis-sold a CFD investment if:
- You were cold-called by an IFA or pressured to invest
- You weren’t told about the risks of the investment
- You were advised to invest in an unsuitable fund
- You have made significant losses as a result of investing in CFD Trading
If any of the above applies to you, we would advise getting in touch as soon as possible.
