What we do
CMC Markets is an online retail financial services business which enables our customers to trade contracts for difference (CFD) or financial spread betting on a range of shares, indices, foreign currencies, commodities and treasuries. The Group also provides stockbroking services in Australia.

CMC Markets creates prices in over 5,000 instruments on which customers can trade. Revenues are generated predominantly through transactional spreads, financing and commissions which arise on our customers trading activities. Our risk management strategy is based on highly automated flow management which dynamically hedges the majority of customer exposures and risk. The level of revenues is influenced by the number of customers actively trading, the amount of trading each customer transacts and the amount of revenue earned from each transaction.
At its core, CMC Markets’ business model is built on:
- Product innovation
- Advanced technology & design
- Superior customer experience
