Understanding stock market indices
A stock market index reflects the performance of a specific segment of the market by tracking the prices of selected stocks. Investors use indices to gauge overall market health and compare their returns against various benchmarks.
Advantages of Index CFDs

Dividends on index positions
Holders of long CFD positions on indices may receive the equivalent of a dividend payout, reflecting the underlying company distributions.
What are dividends?
A company may choose to distribute a portion of its profits to shareholders in the form of dividends. These payments can be issued as cash, additional shares, or even property.
Ex-dividend date
The date after which newly opened positions won’t be entitled to receive the upcoming dividend payment. The value of the underlying share typically decreases by the approximate dividend amount on the ex-dividend date.
Leverage and risk management
Index CFDs allow you to leverage your trades by up to 100:1, potentially amplifying your returns (and risks). Utilize stop-loss and limit orders to manage risk and protect your capital.
