The FinancialScope Markets has introduced the Scope Invest account, offering a cost-effective and flexible investment solution for over 2,000 global CFD equities.
The company, regulated in six jurisdictions and serving a global customer base, provides access to multiple asset classes and instruments on both mobile and desktop platforms.
CEO Pavel Spirin highlighted the firm’s dedication to broadening financial market access. “Our traditional CFD products remain popular, but the Invest account is unleveraged and only allows ‘long’ positions, significantly reducing the risk of capital losses,” Spirin explained.
He added that while CFDs offer a cost-effective way to gain exposure to global assets, leverage and short selling carry risks that may not suit all investors. “The Invest account provides the benefits of share ownership with reduced transaction and holding costs and lower capital risk,” Spirin noted.
The Scope Invest account, now available to retail customers worldwide, supports denominations in GBP, USD, or EUR. It features fractional trading, allowing investments as small as 1/100th of a stock. All trades are commission-free, with no leverage and no overnight rollover fees.
Customers can open an account with a minimum deposit of $50. While investors do not own the underlying asset, they still benefit from corporate actions, including dividend payments.
CFDs, traditionally used on a leveraged basis, allow traders to gain market exposure without physical ownership. Transactions are conducted directly with brokers like Scope Markets, avoiding exchange trading costs and restrictions. The Invest account addresses the risks associated with leveraged CFDs, offering a safer alternative for investors.
