Capital Com Stocks checklist

If you are considering Capital Com for stock trading, the useful work is verification rather than reading headlines. Stock offerings differ by regulatory entity, country and account type, and the same broker may provide different products in different regions. This page does not confirm which stock products Capital Com currently offers. Instead, it lists the specific items to check in the broker's own instrument lists, fee schedules and legal documents, so you can confirm whether the offering matches what you need before you open or fund an account.

Identify the product: share ownership or stock CFDs

The first thing to verify is what you would actually be trading. Direct share dealing means you own the shares, may receive dividends as a shareholder, and typically trade without leverage. Stock CFDs are derivatives: you speculate on price movements without ownership, leverage applies, and overnight funding is charged on held positions. Brokers may offer one or both, and the answer can depend on which entity serves your country. Read the product pages and the client agreement for your region carefully.

Confirm whether your account type gives access to real shares, stock CFDs, or both.
Check which regulatory entity would hold your account and what products that entity is permitted to offer.
For CFDs, review leverage limits, margin requirements and overnight funding charges.
For share dealing, check how dividends, corporate actions and voting rights are handled.

Verify market coverage and instrument availability

General claims about the number of shares offered are less useful than confirming the specific markets and tickers you plan to trade. Coverage of exchanges, sectors and small-cap names varies, and instrument lists change. Use the broker's searchable instrument list or a demo platform to confirm availability, and remember that demo and live offerings can differ by region.

Search for the exact tickers and exchanges you intend to trade rather than relying on category totals.
Check trading hours for each market, including whether pre-market or after-hours trading is supported.
Confirm which base currencies are available and how currency conversion is handled for foreign shares.
Re-verify availability close to when you plan to trade, since lists are updated over time.

Costs, account terms and where to research further

Total trading cost is more than one number. Verify spreads or commissions per market, currency conversion charges, any inactivity fees, and deposit or withdrawal costs in the broker's current fee schedule. Also review the risk disclosures and complaints procedures published by the relevant entity. For fuller context, read the complete Capital Com review at /reviews/capital-com, compare terms against other reviewed brokers with the comparison tool at /tools/compare-brokers?brokers=capital-com, and browse further research at /reviews.

Read the current fee schedule for the exact account type and entity that would serve you.
Check for non-trading costs such as inactivity fees, withdrawal fees and currency conversion charges.
Review the risk disclosure documents, especially the percentage of retail CFD accounts that lose money if stated.
Confirm regulation details directly against the relevant regulator's public register rather than relying on summaries.

FAQ

Does Capital Com offer real shares or only stock CFDs?

This depends on the regulatory entity and country serving your account, and this page does not confirm current availability. Check the broker's product pages and client agreement for your region, and ask support in writing if it is unclear.

How do I check if a specific stock is available to trade?

Search the broker's live instrument list or platform for the exact ticker, and confirm the exchange, trading hours and product type. Demo and live availability can differ, so verify on the account type you would actually use.

What costs should I verify before trading stocks with a broker?

Check spreads or commissions per market, currency conversion fees for foreign shares, overnight funding on CFD positions, and non-trading costs such as inactivity or withdrawal fees, all in the broker's current published fee schedule.
