Capstock is a Mauritius investment-service business with MT5 access and a wider securities/CFD catalogue. Its current homepage advertises a $500 FX/CFD starting balance, but pricing and leverage differ across public pages and older brochures. Cash securities, ETFs and CFDs need separate custody and cost treatment.

Markets, exposures and what each instrument actually represents
Sections ↑This is not merely a stockbroker desk: Capstock’s current inventory spans FX, indices, commodities and thousands of securities/CFDs. Its breadth also makes product classification essential: a cash equity, share CFD and ETF derivative do not confer identical legal ownership or financing obligations.[4][1][5]
