| Title | CFDs and Liquidity Risk Providers: A Comprehensive Analysis on Hedging Risk |
| Summary | Contracts for differences (CFDs) are highly leveraged derivatives that allow investors to speculate on the price movements of assets. However, this area is not as well-regulated as other derivatives. Moreover, trading on margin can increase both gains and losses, making CFDs risky for inexperienced investors. To better understand the risks involved, this paper will look at prudential regulations for brokers based in the European Union and in Australia. We will also discuss the risks and risk management activities of CMC Markets, IG Group, Plus500, XTB, and Plus500. Finally, we will evaluate how the risks transfer from one stakeholder to another and the implications to customers. |
