Trading Strategies
The advantages of trading CFDs make it attractive to investors and traders who are looking to gain from short-term price movement.

Outright ‘Short-sell’
It is not necessary to borrow the physical shares in order to go short via Phillip CFD. If you consider a stock to be overvalued, you can ‘short-sell’ with CFD and benefit from a fall in its share price.

Low Margin Requirements for Long Strategies
The simplest and most straightforward strategy is to go Long (buy CFDs). Long CFDs with as little as 10% for Equities CFDs & as low as 5% for World Indices CFDs.

Pairs Trading
This involves ‘short-selling’ and simultaneously buying CFD of another underlying shares (usually in the same sector) to set up a performance trade. Conducted in the correct ratio, this leaves the investor market neutral whilst having an exposure to the relative strength of both buying and short selling stock.

Hedging (Risk Management Tool)
You may have an investment portfolio, which includes shares that you wish to hold for the medium to long term. However, there will be occasions when you feel some of these shares may fall in the short term. It is a very costly exercise to sell those shares and then buy them back once the market has corrected. Going short of a CFD is a much more efficient way to hedge your portfolio from the temporary market influence.
