Hi,

Anyone know what the position is on holding CFDs and the FIF rules, i noted from a document

http://www.comsec.com.au/Shared/PDF/OTCPDS.pdf

Section 6.1.7 (page 40):
"Entering into the OTC CFD does not mean that you have an interest in the underlying securities. Further, it does not provide an entitlement to acquire the underlying securities. Therefore, investors should not be affected by the FIF rules as they do not own any offshore securities or hold an entitlement to acquire them"

any thoughts?

A FIF is a foreign company or a foreign trust and as such a CFD would not appear to fall into assessment under the FIF rules. However, the rules governing CFDs are complex see

Well you did ask!!
