CMC Markets, a FTSE 250 company and global leader in online trading for retail, professional and institutional clients, has announced the launch of its new multi-asset platform.

The launch is a key pillar of CMC’s strategy to deliver a best-in-class platform designed for modern investors and traders who value flexibility, choice and cost efficiency.

Clients can now invest in more than 12,000 global shares and ETFs with 0% commission, and there are no platform or holding fees – just a simple 0.5% FX conversion fee, which may apply. Alongside the new offering, clients can trade on a wide range of global markets via CFDs and options, all from a single account.

Chris Cheverall, Head of UK, CMC Markets, said:

“By offering investing and trading side by side, we’re making it easier for clients to choose the approach that suits them. You might want to own shares in companies like Nvidia as part of a long-term strategy, or trade those same markets more actively using leverage – and now you can do both through a single CMC Markets platform. This reflects our ambition to set the standard in multi-asset trading and investing.”

Vaughn Affonso, Co-Head of Dealing, CMC Markets, commented:

“Removing commission on UK and European CFD shares allows our clients to trade more efficiently. At a time of increased investor interest and rotation from US markets into the UK and Europe, this provides a cost-effective way for clients to access new opportunities and manage their capital more dynamically.”
