AMP Global fees explained
We compare AMP Global fees with its closest competitors, Admirals (Admiral Markets) and FxPro.
AMP Global fees
AMP Global trading fees
AMP Global's trading fees are mid-tier which means you need to pay special attention to asset classes with high trading fees.
Let's break down the trading fees into the different asset classes available at AMP Global.
Trading fees
AMP Global's trading fees are average.
It is super hard to compare trading fees for CFD brokers. What we did at BrokerChooser? Instead of quoting long fee tables, we compare brokers by calculating all fees of an example trade for three assets.
For the assets we chose cleverly and arbitrarily:
- Apple, a large US stock
- Vodafone, a large European stock
- EURUSD, a popular currency pair
The example in this context would mean buying a position, holding for one week, and selling it. For the volume we chose a $2,000 position for the stocks and $20,000 for the EURUSD.
This super catch-all benchmark includes spreads, commissions and financing costs for all brokers.
Here is the verdict.
| AMP Global | Admirals (Admiral Markets) | FxPro | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Apple benchmark fee | $4.7 | $4.6 | $10.0 |
| Vodafone benchmark fee | - | $12.1 | $16.1 |
| EURUSD benchmark fee | $20.3 | $15.1 | $15.0 |
Financing rates
AMP Global financing rates are high.
If you want to trade on margin and prefer to hold your positions long, financing costs can be significant.
| AMP Global | Admirals (Admiral Markets) | FxPro | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Apple CFD financing rate | 4.7% | 6.1% | 2.9% |
| Vodafone CFD financing rate | - | 6.0% | 2.8% |
| EURUSD financing rate | 5.0% | 3.6% | 3.0% |
| EURGBP financing rate | 4.1% | 3.6% | 2.2% |
Leverage is a double-edged sword and can dramatically amplify your profits. It can also just as dramatically amplify your losses. Trading foreign exchange/CFDs with any level of leverage may not be suitable for all investors.
