How does Stock CFD
Trading work?

Stock trading involves buying or selling a share of ownership in an individual company listed on an exchange such as the ASX or NASDAQ. Stocks are typically traded without leverage and through a stock exchange. Stock CFDs however can be traded using leverage and are done so over-the-counter (OTC). Participants are able to access stocks of individual companies, building positions in an individual company or in a specified sector of the economy.
Participants often build strategies with diversification in mind to diversify away unsystematic risk across a number of companies or a range of sectors. Investors may choose to build positions in defensives if they are predicting volatility. Similarly, investors may decide to build a portfolio around a growth strategy consisting of small to mid-cap technology stocks.

Stocks trading example

Buying: Apple Inc (NASDAQ: AAPL)

The gross profit on your trade is calculated as follows:
Opening Price
$152 x 100 shares = USD $15,200
Closing Price
$170 x 100 shares = USD $17,000
Gross Profit on Trade
USD $17,000 - $15,200 = $1,800
Opening the Position
Apple is trading at 150/152 and you are of the view that Apple’s latest product release will boost sales. You decide to purchase 100 shares of AAPL. For each contract, one point (a price movement of 1) is equal to $1 USD.

With 100 contracts, every point that the bid quote on AAPL rises above 152 you will make a profit of $100 USD, and for every point the bid quote falls below 152 you will lose $100 USD.

Closing the Position
1 month later, after sales results are released, the price of AAPL has increased to 170/172 and you decide to take profit by selling 100 AAPL Stock CFD contracts.

To calculate the net profit you must include any financing or dividend adjustments. In the case of a ‘long’ position interest is credited and in the case of a ‘short’ position interest is debited.

*US STOCK TRADING

The US Internal Revenue Service (IRS) requires all non-US resident holders of US equity derivatives – (this includes CFDs ) to be taxed on dividend adjustments.

What does it mean for me?

When trading any US listed equities with BKS Fintech, the Dividend adjustments on your long positions are credited to your account, and the applicable withholding taxes are automatically deducted.

How much will be deducted?

The deduction rate varies depending on the underlying market, but where a treaty between Australia and the relevant market exists, the rate may be reduced to 15%. Please note that the withholding tax deduction doesn't apply to short positions.

What should I do?

If you are an INDIVIDUAL and want the applicable reduced rate, please fill out "Form W-8BEN" and upload it to your Client Area.

If you are an ENTITY and want the applicable reduced rate, please fill out "Form W-8BEN-E" and upload it to your Client Area.
