When investing in Imperial Brands you have several options as to what type of investment you wish to conduct. You can buy traditional Imperial Brands shares with one of our listed brokers or you can trade what is known as CFDs or contracts for difference.

We explain in detail the difference between buying Imperial Brands shares with stock brokers and trading Imperial Brands with CFDs below.

Imperial Brands CFD Trading vs Traditional Share Dealing

CFD trading is quite much like stock trading except when you exchange a CFD you do not actually own any Imperial Brands stock.

If you buy Imperial Brands shares with a stock broker you actually own a share of Imperial Brands. When you trade a contract for difference (CFD) you have an agreement with your CFD broker and are speculating that the Imperial Brands price will change up or down.

Lets explain why you would buy Imperial Brands as a CFD instead of as a share.

If you went and brought 100 Imperial Brands shares at $100 a share with a stock broker you own $1000 of Imperial Brands.

The main difference when trading Imperial Brands as a CFD and buying Imperial Brands as a share is contracts for difference offer increased leverage.

Contracts for difference are traded on margin which means to have $1000 invested in Imperial Brands you would not need to invest the full amount as you would with a stock broker. You could invest a fraction of the amount ( known as the CFD margin ) with a CFD to hold a similar position in Imperial Brands. Trading an Imperial Brands CFD allows investors to hold larger positions than their invested amount. Be aware that although investing in an Imperial Brands CFD like this amplifies any potential profit. It always exaggerates your potential losses which may exceed your amount invested.

If you invested in an Imperial Brands share with a stock broker you would only lose the amount you invested as you pay the total cost of your position to your broker upfront. There is no leverage.

An Imperial Brands CFD long would be hoping to profit from a rise in the Imperial Brands share price.
