Fortrade Expands CFD Offerings to Include AI, Networking, Space, and Materials Shares
Fortrade, a London‑based online CFD broker, announced on 22 June 2026 that it will add four new share contracts to its trading catalogue. The new contracts give traders exposure to Ciena Corporation, Rocket Lab Corporation, Corning Incorporated and Cerebras Systems, all of which operate in sectors that are increasingly central to the technology economy.
The addition is part of Fortrade’s effort to keep its product range aligned with evolving client demand. According to the company’s press release, the new contracts will be available as contracts for difference (CFDs) on the proprietary Fortrader platform and on MetaTrader 4. The firm said it will provide clear information, a stable platform and educational support to help traders understand the risks associated with leveraged products.
Ciena is a U.S. optical networking and automation software company that supplies equipment to major telecom operators. Rocket Lab is a publicly traded aerospace firm that builds and launches small satellites with its Electron rocket. Corning is a long‑standing glass and materials manufacturer that supplies specialty glass for displays, optical communications and other industrial applications. Cerebras Systems, which recently listed on Nasdaq, designs large‑scale processors and systems for training and running artificial intelligence models.
Fortrade’s platform offers more than 500 instruments, including forex pairs, indices, commodities, shares and metals. The broker is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in the United Kingdom. Client funds are held in accordance with FCA regulatory requirements, and the broker provides negative balance protection for retail clients.
Chris Warburton, CEO of Fortrade, said the expansion reflects how client demand has evolved. "Traders increasingly want access to the companies shaping the next phase of the technology economy, not just the established names," he said. "Our aim is to broaden our clients’ trading options in a transparent and clear way, while maintaining a reliable platform."
The move also signals a broader pattern in market interest, where attention has shifted from a handful of mega‑cap technology names to companies tied to specific structural themes such as AI infrastructure, connectivity and space. By adding these instruments, Fortrade gives clients a way to engage with those themes through a single platform.
Fortrade’s Trading Academy offers webinars, courses, video tutorials and market analysis resources to help traders evaluate their options. The broker’s website redesign, announced earlier this year, aims to streamline navigation and improve user experience.
The new share contracts are available for leveraged trading, and Fortrade continues to emphasise risk awareness alongside market access. The company’s statement notes that trading CFDs carries a high level of risk and that traders should practice due diligence and consult a professional financial advisor before trading.
As of the announcement, Fortrade’s expanded instrument range includes companies that are leaders in AI hardware, optical networking, space systems and advanced materials. The addition is expected to broaden the broker’s appeal to traders interested in these emerging technology sectors.
The current situation is that Fortrade has added the four new CFD contracts to its catalogue, and the platform remains regulated by the FCA. Traders can access the new instruments through Fortrader or MetaTrader 4, and the broker will continue to provide educational resources and risk warnings. No further product launches or regulatory changes were announced at this time.
