CMC Markets CFDs


 
 
Invest in CFDs

An SMSF is permitted to invest in CFD’s. Clients of ESUPERFUND are permitted to use any CFD Provider for their SMSF. To simplify the CFD Application Process ESUPERFUND has established direct arrangements with CMC Markets allowing clients to easily apply for a CFD Account through our website.

 
 
CMC Markets Account Not Compulsory 

It is not compulsory to use the CMC Markets Account and you are permitted to invest in any CFD Provider for your SMSF as desired. However if you establish CFD Accounts for your SMSF other than with CMC Markets, data will not be accessible by ESUPERFUND and you will need to source and provide this data to ESUPERFUND annually. In addition ESUPERFUND provides a Client Login Portal to clients with daily data of all your SMSF Investments. Where you elect to invest in CFDs other than with CMC Markets, we will be unable to receive daily data on these accounts, and in turn will not be able to report details of these accounts daily.

Monitoring Transactions

By using the CMC Markets Account ESUPERFUND is able to electronically access the trades made by your SMSF in order to attend to the SMSF Annual Compliance Requirements. No records are required from you each year as we already have the data. It is important to understand that only electronic data files are provided to ESUPERFUND. We have absolutely no access to your CMC Markets Account and cannot actually login to your Account to access the required data.

 
 
No Direct Share Ownership

It is important to understand that when you purchase Shares using CFDs with CMC Markets, your SMSF is not the actual owner of the Shares.  CFDs are a contract between you and the CFD Provider (i.e. CMC Markets) that could result in either a profit or a loss from either rising or falling prices.  

 
 
Trade CFDs Long or Short

CMC Markets CFDs allow you to trade either Long or Short. With CFD trading, your profit or loss is determined by the difference between the buy price and the sell price of the financial instrument you are trading.
