Access to the South African market has traditionally been through stockbrokers who charge a premium for the privilege of talking to what is effectively a middleman. Whilst some traders may see value in the advice that a broker provides, Global CFDs does not provide advice. Instead, Global CFDs provides an execution-only service where the additional costs of trading are passed on to the client who is willing and able to trade on their own account.

Once again, advances in technology have empowered individuals to access markets with the same tools and commercial terms previously exclusive to banks and financial institutions.

Traders are looking for lower execution costs to enhance returns and now with the help of technology they are able to achieve this with features such as ‘live messenger’ linked to dealers and support staff, integrated educational resources, technical analysis, live charting, streaming news feeds, research and more.
