What is Shares?

Shares are fractional portions of a company's ownership. These units comprise what is collectively referred to as 'stocks', hence the frequent interchangeability of these terms (shares and stocks) in the financial sector.

The activity of buying and selling these shares is called stock trading. Engaging in stock trades allows individuals to trade some of the largest companies in the world such as Tesla, Apple, Alphabet, Meta and more.

With Vantage, you can trade stocks of the biggest companies in the US through CFDs commission-free. Contracts-for-Difference (CFDs) allow you to speculate on the prices of shares without actually owning them.

    Can I start trading stock CFDs with $100?

    In short, yes. It depends on the broker that you open an account with, the trading plan that you’ve set out, as well as the leverage that you use on your trades.
    Leverage amplifies the effect of price changes, whether it’s a gain or loss, allowing you to trade significantly more in value with an initial capital of $100. However, trading with high leverage also comes with significantly higher risk, as you may lose more than your initial capital.

    What stock CFDs you can trade at Vantage?

    Before buying any stock, it is important to research and understand the company and its business. Start by doing your research on the companies that you are familiar with and have a proven track record.
    Large, well-established companies, often referred to as "blue-chip" stocks, can be a good starting point to consider. Another way to get exposure to stocks is to consider exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which offer diversification as they track a broad market index or sector.
