Introducing share baskets

EXCLUSIVE TO CMC

Our exclusive share baskets are mini CFD portfolios of stocks built around a specific theme. Our traders and market analysts sift through data on popular themes and growing trends in the markets, and handpick stocks to give you maximum exposure to those themes with a single position.

We've found the trends

Our analysts have already done the hard work to discover current and emerging trends driving the economy, and the companies best placed to reap the potential rewards.

Lower risk

Through diversification, share baskets give you broad exposure to a theme, avoiding the risk of putting all of your eggs in one basket when trading on a single company.

One position

Share baskets allow you to gain exposure to a theme without opening and maintaining multiple positions, saving you time and money.

Leveraged trading

We offer up to 5:1 leverage on our share baskets. This means for every £1 you'll have £5 of exposure.

Low costs

Trade commission-free with exposure to some of the highest-performance companies in the world, and benefit from reduced holding costs.

Holding costs (Yearly)
Share baskets (Buy) = 1.9%
UK100 (Buy) = 3.23%

Performance

Our share baskets are optimised for their growth potential - our in-house trading team have selected shares based on their level of exposure to a particular theme, and their ability to best capitalise on the growth projections of that trend.

How we build our share baskets

Trend identification

Firstly, our analysts use their expertise and hours of market research to spot existing and emerging trends that are driving the economy, such as AI or driverless cars.

Impact analysis

Then, they examine the data to determine the companies they believe are best positioned to benefit from these trends, varying their weighting in the index based on their exposure.

Basket formation

Finally, we group the top companies into baskets, which operate in a similar way to an index such as the UK 100, giving you a broad exposure to a theme.

Automation & Robotics - - - -
The big tech companies are currently battling it out to incorporate the latest advances in AI into their businesses - especially considering that inserting the buzzword into corporate messaging is a sure-fire way to demonstrate a firm's future-proofing efforts. Take the various voice-powered digital assistants, such as Google's Assistant, Amazon's Alexa, Apple's Siri and Microsoft's Cortana. There's even 'Jibo', the home robot that's received $72m in funding.

While US firms dominate the tech market, China is catching up quickly. In 2019, despite the mounting cloud of trade conflict and economic downturn, Chinese technology stocks still finished the year with astonishing gains.

Driverless Cars - - - -
It may still be a while before we see autonomous vehicles in series production.
