The change pertains to non-leveraged stock and crypto instruments.
The broker has noticed that investors increasingly prefer investing over speculation.
Capital.com
announced today (Monday) it will no longer charge overnight funding fees on
non-leveraged contracts for difference (CFDs) trades for stocks and
cryptocurrencies. The change eliminates certain fees for traders who maintain
positions beyond a single trading day, potentially benefiting those who prefer
longer-term strategies.
Capital.com Eliminates
Overnight Fees on Non-Leveraged Stock and Crypto CFDs
The
decision comes as Capital.com observes a shift in retail trader behavior
towards extended holding periods, particularly in stock and cryptocurrency
markets. According to the company's data, 89% of all non-leveraged overnight
positions in Q2 2024 were in stocks and cryptocurrencies, compared to just 28%
in commodities.

"Our
data shows that retail traders are moving beyond day-trading to experiment with
different trading styles, including taking longer-term positions in popular
stocks and cryptocurrencies," said Dana Massey, Chief Product Officer at
Capital.com. "To support them in this journey, we have taken the decision
to remove funding adjustments for non-leveraged CFD trades on shares and
cryptocurrencies."
The
platform's data reveals that traders holding overnight stock positions typically maintain them for up to 7 days, while cryptocurrency traders average
4 days. In contrast, positions in indices and commodities are usually closed
after just 3 days.
With 0%
overnight funding on popular markets like shares and cryptocurrencies, our traders have peace of mind to explore
longer-term, investment style strategies without worrying about the additional
cost burden,” added Massey.
The new
policy, effective immediately, applies only to overnight funding on 1:1
leverage CFD trades for shares and cryptocurrency markets. Trades using other
leverage ratios or on different markets remain unaffected.
Capital.com,
which saw client trading volumes
exceed $1 trillion in 2023, continues to adapt its offerings to meet the
changing demands of retail traders. Among the mentioned changes was the July
partnership with TradingView, a popular charting platform aimed at offering
traders access to more advanced charts.
Personnel Changes at
Capital.com
Recently,
Capital.com has been notably active in the job market, alongside introducing
new product updates. Last week, Patricia Lyn Dixon revealed on LinkedIn her
recent appointment as the Global Head of Programmatic at Capital.com. She joins
from Amazon Ads where she spent over two years as a Programmatic Solutions
Consultant.
Earlier
this month, the broker also welcomed Tarek Mahassen as the new Head of Risk for
the MENA region. His move concludes a two-year period at Revolut where his
final role was Group Senior Operational Risk Manager. Prior to that, Mahassen
handled business risk management at a prominent London-based fintech company.
In another
significant development this June, Campbell MacPherson announced that he has
taken on the role of Chief Executive Officer for Capital.com’s operations in
Australia. Before joining Capital.com, MacPherson was the Regional Director of
Sales at FactSet, where he led initiatives to expand the company’s reach across
various asset classes in the Pacific region.
