FxPro Stocks checklist

Begin with FxPro's official markets or instruments pages and read the product descriptions carefully. Terms such as 'share CFDs' or 'CFDs on stocks' indicate derivatives, while 'share dealing' or 'physical shares' indicate ownership. The distinction affects whether you can hold positions long term without financing charges, whether you receive shareholder rights, and how dividends are treated. If the wording is ambiguous, ask support to confirm in writing which structure applies to your account type and country of residence.

Costs differ sharply between product types. Share CFDs typically involve spreads or commissions plus overnight financing charges that accumulate on positions held beyond a day, which makes them expensive for long-term holding. Real share dealing usually involves commissions, possible custody fees and currency conversion costs. In both cases, check how dividends or dividend adjustments are handled, whether inactivity fees apply, and what the minimum deposit is for the relevant account type. Use FxPro's current published fee schedule as your source, and note the date you checked it.

Identify the regulated FxPro entity that would hold your account, since leverage limits, negative balance protection and complaint procedures depend on the jurisdiction. Retail leverage on share CFDs is capped in many regions, and protections available under one regulator may not apply under another. Finally, weigh suitability: leveraged share CFDs suit short-term, actively managed trading, while long-term investors generally need an ownership-based product. Compare your findings against other reviewed brokers before deciding where to open an account.
