Trading.com has rolled out a new Share Investment Account for clients across the European Economic Area (EEA), marking an expansion of its product offering beyond leveraged trading.
The new account allows EEA clients to invest directly in listed equities on major global stock exchanges through Trading.com’s existing platform infrastructure, providing access to cash-based share ownership rather than derivatives.
According to the company, the Investment Account is designed as a direct-entry solution for long-term stock investing. Key features include zero-commission trading and the removal of upfront deposit requirements, aimed at lowering barriers for users transitioning from short-term trading to longer-term equity holdings.
The launch reflects Trading.com’s broader strategy to diversify its services beyond its core leveraged products. While the platform continues to offer CFDs and leveraged trading across forex, commodities, digital assets, and indices, the new Investment Account targets demand for cash-based wealth management and portfolio transparency.
Trading.com said the offering is intended to give clients greater control over their investments, with a simpler structure suited to long-term portfolio building rather than speculative trading.
Trading.com operates under a multi-jurisdictional regulatory structure. Its European entity is authorised and regulated by the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC). Globally, the group also holds licences with the Financial Conduct Authority (UK) and the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), and is registered with both the National Futures Association and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission in the United States.
The EEA rollout positions Trading.com alongside a growing number of online brokers expanding into unleveraged share investing, as platforms seek to attract a broader client base amid shifting regulatory and market conditions.
