Frequently Asked Questions
- Does trading MSFT give me any of the rights of owning Microsoft stock?
- No. MSFT is a synthetic perpetual with no delivery mechanism or arbitrage bridge to Microsoft's actual shares. It gives price exposure only — there are no shareholder rights, no dividends, no voting rights, and no claim on the underlying stock.
- Where is Microsoft listed, and in what currency does MSFT trade?
- Microsoft is a U.S. company listed on the Nasdaq stock exchange, and its common stock trades in U.S. dollars. MSFT's price already reflects that USD-denominated stock, with no currency conversion involved.
- How is MSFT different from other names, like ORCL?
- MSFT spans consumer software, enterprise software, and cloud infrastructure (Azure) in one company. ORCL, by contrast, is enterprise-only — its business centers on databases, ERP software, and cloud infrastructure sold to other businesses, with no consumer products.
