OANDA Expands CFD Trading Options for UK Investors

OANDA expands CFD offerings in the UK, adding US and European share CFDs via MT5. Traders gain access to top stocks, boosting market opportunities and flexibility.

Key Point:

• OANDA Expands CFD Offerings: OANDA has introduced share CFDs on US and European stocks for UK clients via its FCA-regulated entity, enhancing trading options through the new “OANDA One” sub-account on MT5.
• Strategic Growth Amid Acquisition: This expansion aligns with OANDA’s broader strategy as it awaits regulatory approval for its acquisition by Czech prop trading firm FTMO, further strengthening its market position.

Retail FX and CFD broker OANDA has announced the expansion of its contracts-for-difference (CFD) offerings in the UK, introducing share CFDs on US and European listed stocks. Furthermore, this new feature is available through OANDA Europe Limited, the company’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA)- a region-regulated entity.

The enhancement is also part of a broader initiative that includes the launch of a new “OANDA One” sub-account, allowing clients to trade via the latest version of the MetaTrader platform, MT5. This move significantly increases the trading options for OANDA’s UK-based clients, who can now seek exposure to individual company shares through CFDs. The new instruments cover high-profile stocks such as Tesla, Amazon, Microsoft, Apple, Allianz, Siemens, and Carrefour, spanning multiple countries, including the USA, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Spain, and the Netherlands.

OANDA Expands CFD Trading Options for UK Investors

OANDA’s expansion comes at a pivotal moment. Pending regulatory approvals, the company was recently acquired by Czech proprietary trading firm FTMO. This move also signals OANDA’s commitment to strengthening its position in the retail trading sector by diversifying its product range and enhancing its trading platform capabilities.

Marcin Niewiadomski, Managing Director for Europe at OANDA, highlighted the growing appeal of CFDs among traders and investors. He noted,

“The growing demand for CFDs reflects their appeal in providing traders and investors with a way to benefit from price fluctuations without owning the underlying assets. CFDs allow exposure to rising and falling markets, giving traders the flexibility to take advantage of volatility. We are giving our clients valuable diversification opportunities across sectors and geographies by offering leveraged access to a diverse selection of leading companies from the US and multiple European markets.”

With this latest update, OANDA’s trading platform now supports share CFDs alongside an extensive range of asset classes, including indices, forex, commodities, metals, and bonds. Moreover, this expansion reinforces OANDA’s position as a leading multi-asset trading platform, providing UK traders with a seamless and user-friendly trading experience.

In 1996, OANDA has established itself as a global leader in digital trading platforms. It offers multi-asset trading, currency data, and analytics services to both retail and corporate clients. With regulated operations and leadership teams across major financial markets, including New York, Toronto, London, Warsaw, Singapore, Tokyo, and Sydney, OANDA continues to provide innovative trading solutions to its diverse client base.
