Risk Warning

Investing in derivatives and other leveraged instruments carries a high degree of risk to the investor and due to fluctuations in valuation, the investor may not get back the amount of their original investment, and in certain circumstances be liable to pay a far greater sum. It is advisable to seek independent financial advice if necessary.

There are risks associated with utilising an Internet-based deal execution trading system including, but not limited to, the failure of hardware, software, and Internet connection. CMC Spreadbet Plc does not control signal power, its reception or routing via Internet, configuration of your equipment or reliability of its connection, and we do not therefore accept any responsibility whatsoever for communication failures, distortions or delays that are out of our control when trading via the Internet. CMC Spreadbet Plc employs back up systems and contingency plans to minimise the possibility of system failure, and trading via telephone is available as an alternative. Telephone calls may be recorded.
