How does etoro respond to a spin-off?
Last updated: 12 August 2026
What you receive will depend on the type of position you hold, and the amount will depend on the terms of the event:
- If you hold ‘real’ buy positions (secured with the underlying asset), you’ll receive shares in the spun-off company.
- If you hold CFD buy positions, you’ll receive the cash equivalent.
- If you hold short positions, we’ll remove the cash equivalent from your available balance.
If you receive shares in the spun-off company, you can find them in your portfolio.
If you receive the cash equivalent, you can see the payment on your portfolio’s history page immediately after it’s made, or the following day on your account statement.
