EduMarkets Total Return Swaps & CFDs
The module covers synthetic exposure to an asset without direct ownership. Hedge funds and other institutional investors use total return swaps and CFDs through a prime broker to take leveraged positions in equities, bonds, and indices. Users work through the cashflow mechanics, notional resets, when margin calls are triggered, and how these contracts distribute leverage across the market.
