Share CFDs and Fractional Stocks at Scope Markets
Two very different ways the brand gives access to shares — and why the difference matters before you buy.
Open a Trading Account →Scope Markets offers shares two ways. On One Account they are CFDs alongside forex, indices and commodities. Scope Invest is a separate long-only configuration for fractional stocks from 0.01 of a contract, at 1:1 leverage, 0% commission and no swap costs — also executed as CFDs, so it is exposure to the price, not share ownership.
How share exposure works here
- Shares are one of the asset classes listed on One Account, traded as CFDs on the same MetaTrader 5 terminal as forex and indices.
- Scope Invest is the separate route for fractional stocks: contracts from 0.01, so exposure to an expensive share can be taken without the price of a whole one.
- Fractional stocks on Scope Invest are executed as CFDs. You are trading a contract on the price, which is not the same as owning the share, and it carries no shareholder rights.
- Scope Invest is long-only at 1:1 leverage with 0% commission and no swap or financing cost, which is the closest the brand gets to a buy-and-hold profile.
- The Scope Trader materials mention more than 50 popular shares alongside indices, energies and metals within a wider 350+ symbol range across eight asset classes.

Frequently asked questions
Does Scope Invest mean I own the shares?
No. The brand states that fractional stocks are executed as CFDs, so you hold a contract on the price rather than the share itself.
How small can a fractional position be?
From 0.01 of a contract, according to the broker's account page.
Can shares be sold short?
Share CFDs on One Account can be traded in both directions. Scope Invest is long (buy) only.
