Interactive Brokers CFDs without leverage

Personal Finance & Money Asked by arisalexis on December 12, 2020

I would like to buy a certain stock that is not available in my currency and also an index fund. I see there is the option to buy it with CFD but I cannot find it in the documentation or through search if it is possible to buy this without leverage reason being I want to go long with a long-term horizon on them and I am not sure of how to apply a currency hedge.

Site support confirmed this is possible with setting margin at 100% so you can buy a CFD without borrowing money and no interest rate fees.
