For CFD Stock Indices (cash markets), Individual Equities and FX, a +/- 3% financing charge will apply.

Commissions

You pay commission at the rates set out above when trading on individual equity CFDs with GFT Global Markets and calculated as follows: (applicable commission rate x price bought or sold at) x number of CFDs.

A minimum commission rate also applies, as set out above.

Minimum / Maximum Trade Sizes

The values shown are indicative; maximum trade sizes will vary from share to share, according to underlying liquidity and, in the case of UK shares, "Normal Market Size".

The market information sheets indicate the usual minimum and maximum trading sizes in GBP; currency equivalents apply for non-GBP accounts, or when trading on markets denominated in a currency other than GBP.

Restrictions may be applied to maximum trade sizes whether opening or closing.

The lot size of the corresponding underlying market is provided for your information, as a guide to minimum market trading size.

When you trade CFDs you are always trading the in "base" currency of the underlying market. E.g. if you trade a US share, you are trading in US dollars per one cent movement.

Finance Adjustments

All finance adjustments for open positions in cash indices are carried out at or after 17:00 ET. Finance adjustments are not made on open positions on CFD futures markets.

As you hold a position overnight (i.e. after 17:00 ET), a finance adjustment is made to your account. This is calculated as follows:

f = (v * r) / d

where
f = daily financing charge
v = Notional value of underlying instrument calculated based on closing price as determined by GFT
r = relevant interest rate, PLUS 300 basis points for long positions, or MINUS 300 basis points for short positions, e.g. (4.50% + 3.00%) = 7.50%
d = number of days, i.e. we use 365 days for index with denominated currency of GBP or AUD. Otherwise we use 360 days
/>(Notional value = Price * Number of CFDs/Tick Factor)

Long (buy) trade positions are debited the daily financing charge
Short (sell) positions are credited the daily financing charge

Dividends

Current rates of dividend adjustments are as follows:

UK Shares:	Buy trades are credited with 100% net dividend declared Sell trades are debited with 100% net dividend declared.
US Shares:	Buy trades are credited with 85% of the gross dividend Sell trades are debited with 100% of the gross dividend
