There are a few key differences between investing in and trading Siemens shares CFDs. Firstly, when you invest in Siemens shares, you are buying a stake in the company and become a shareholder. This means that you are entitled to dividends and have a say in how the company is run. However, as a shareholder, you are also exposed to the risks of the company's performance. If Siemens shares fall in value, you could lose money.

When you trade Siemens shares CFDs, you are speculating on the price movement of the shares. You don't own the underlying asset and so don't have any rights or responsibilities as a shareholder. However, this also means that you can take advantage of both rising and falling markets. If the price of Siemens shares falls, you can make a profit by selling your CFDs.

The other key difference is that when you invest in Siemens shares, you will need to pay the full value of the shares upfront. When you trade Siemens shares CFDs, you only need to put down a small deposit, known as a margin. This allows you to trade with leverage, which means you can control a larger position than the amount of money you have invested. However, it also means that your losses could be greater than your initial deposit.
