CMC Markets is an award winning company. We have won independent recognition for our trading platforms, our product offering and our educational material. In 2008, we were awarded ‘Broker of the Year’ by readers of Shares Magazine.

Low commissions

CMC Markets is one of the few CFD providers to offer commission-free trading on index, commodity and treasury CFDs. A competitive commission charge is applied to equity CFDs. Visit our range of markets for a comprehensive list.

Competitive margin rates

CFDs are a leveraged product which means that you only have to put up a percentage of your total exposure to the market. This is an efficient use of your money because you only need to allocate a small proportion of the value of your position to secure a trade.

With CMC Markets you can trade from as little as one CFD. This means you can take on as much or as little risk as you feel comfortable with, and can start trading markets that you may not have considered previously, such as foreign exchange. What's more, you can open an account with just S$1,000. CMC Markets’ product range is designed to give you access to markets and instruments that would normally be expensive and require high minimum deposits to trade on a physical basis. Trade Singapore, US, Japanese, Hong Kong and European markets from one single trading account - with no currency conversion or account keeping fees.
