Equities represent a share of ownership in a company. Equities are traded via the stock market (e.g. the FTSE, the Dow Jones, the Nikkei etc.), a public market for the trading of company shares and derivatives at an agreed price. As you are trading on derived share prices, this does not give you ownership of the shares nor does it give you, at any time, the right to require or request delivery of those shares from us. You have no voting rights over the shares represented by your trade.
