Daily Cost of Carry ("Premium")

CFD/Share Trading Account

Some positions held past 5PM EST (New York time) will be subject to Cost of Carry charges/credits as detailed in the "Reference Prices" window of your trading platform.  This cost is set at 0% to 8% per annum of the notional value of the position, depending on the product.  Individual shares are charged 8% per annum for long positions and 2% per annum for short positions.

This equates to about $0.00 to $1.00 per lot per day for most instruments.  Clients can pay or receive this amount, based on their margin settings.
