CFD pricing

As Index CFDs at Saxo Bank are margined products, you finance the traded value through an overnight credit/debit charge. If you open and close a CFD position within the same trading day, you are not subject to overnight financing. When you hold an Index CFD position overnight, your CFD position will consequently be subject to the following credit or debit:

• Holding Long CFD Stock Index Tracker positions after 17:00 EST (New York time) incurs a financing charge which is calculated as follows:
  • Index Value * Number of CFDs * (Saxo Offer financing rate + 2.50%) * (Actual Number of Days/360 or Actual Number of Days/365)

• Holding Short positions after 17:00 EST (New York time) creates a financing credit which is calculated as follows:
  • Index Value * Number of CFDs * (Saxo Bid financing rate – 3.00%) * (Actual Number of Days/360 or Actual Number of Days/365)

Please note the following:
A) A floor will apply to the relevant Saxo Bid/Offer financing rate, i.e. if the Benchmark Rate is negative, then it will be excluded from the financing calculation.
B) If the calculated financing rate on a short position (Saxo Bid financing rate) is negative, then the financing credit will become a financing charge.

As Single Stock CFDs at Saxo Bank are a margined product, you finance the traded value through an overnight credit/debit charge. If you open and close a CFD position within the same trading day, you are not subject to overnight financing. When you hold a Single Stock CFD position (or an ETF/ETC CFD position) overnight, i.e. have an open CFD position at close of market on the Stock Exchange, your CFD position will consequently be subject to the following credit or debit

• When you hold a long CFD position, you are subject to a debit calculated on the basis of the relevant Saxo Offer financing rate for the currency in which the underlying share is traded plus a mark-up (times Actual Days/360 or Actual Days/365).
  
  
• When you hold a short CFD position, you receive a credit calculated on the basis of the relevant Saxo Bid financing rate for the currency in which the underlying share is traded minus a mark-down (times Actual Days/360 or Actual Days/365).

The credit/debit is calculated on the total nominal value of the underlying Stocks at the time the CFD contract is established (whether long or short).

Please note the following:

• A floor will apply to the relevant Saxo Bid/Offer financing rate, i.e. if the Benchmark Rate is negative it will be excluded from the financing calculation.
  
  
• If the calculated financing rate on a short position (Saxo Bid financing rate – mark-down) is negative, the financing credit will become a financing charge.

When selling a CFD, the borrowing cost for holding the position overnight is shown in the CFD Trade module in the 'Estimated borrowing cost per day' field. The borrowing rate will be fixed when the position is opened and will be charged on a monthly basis. Please be aware, that for certain corporate action events, the borrowing rate on the short position may be reset to the current rate in the market, upon the execution of the corporate action.

If you open and close a CFD position within the same trading day, you are not subject to borrowing costs.

Overnight positions in Expiring CFDs are subject to a carrying cost. The carrying cost is calculated on the basis of the daily margin requirement and applied when a position is held overnight. The funding rate used for calculating the carrying cost is based on the relevant Interbank-rate + markup at: 3.5% (classic accounts), 1.5% (platinum accounts), or 0.5% (VIP accounts).

Carrying Cost = Margin requirement * Holding time * (Relevant Interbank rate + Markup) / (365 or 360 days)

The Bid/Ask spread will be equal to the minimum target spread in approx. 99% of the quote updates, during the opening hours of the underlying cash market.

This gives clients an improved trading experience and a high degree of certainty with regards to trading costs associated with entering and closing CFD Index Tracker positions.
