Financing

A financing cost or benefit is incurred for any CFD positions held overnight. The finance rate is applied to the full value of your position. If you hold a long ‘buy’ position you will be charged interest, if you hold a short ‘sell’ position you may receive interest from First Prudential Markets.

 

Interest Rates on CFD Positions - Only applicable if positions are held overnight
Based on the value of CFD positions held overnight, interest is debited from and/or credited to your CFD account on a daily basis before market open on the next trading day.
The interest rate charges for open positions held overnight are set out below. Interest is calculated by multiplying the number of CFDs by the closing price, multiplied by the applicable interest rate, divided by 365 days.
Long CFD Position Interest rate	Short CFD Position Interest rate
Reserve Bank cash rate plus 2% - 3%	Reserve Bank cash rate minus 2% - 3%
In the event of a Client being the Long Party to a CFD, FPM will credit the Client’s Account with an amount that will be equal to the cash dividend payable to the holder of the Underlying Security multiplied by the Quantity on the first Business Day following the ex-dividend date.
In the event of a Client being the Short Party to a CFD, FPM will debit the Client’s Account with an amount that will be equal to the cash dividend plus any imputation or franking credits payable to the holder of the Underlying Security multiplied by the Quantity on the first Business Day following the ex-dividend date.
No interest is paid or received on positions that are not held overnight.
