CFDs and Corporate Actions

[ForexWatchGuy]

Hi,

Recently I have been looking into trading CFDs off the back of corporate actions like rights issues. For example: I notice that when rights are issued that a lot of the time they are tradable. The rights price then fluctuates dependant on a number of factors and I want to know, Is there a way to trade the fluctuations in price in CFD format? Also, if i buy the rights in CFDs can i take part in the rights exercise?

Appreciate your help

Thanks
Mark

yes like all corporate actions, rights issues of shares would be mirrored in the CFD position. This is answered in full here http://www.contracts-for-difference.com/Dividend-stock-split.html
