Trade Allianz with LHFX

Allianz SE is the largest insurance company in Europe by gross premiums and one of the largest asset managers globally, headquartered in Munich and listed on the Frankfurt Xetra exchange as a DAX 40 constituent. The group operates across three core segments: Property-Casualty insurance (around 41% of operating profit), Life and Health insurance (around 32%), and Asset Management (around 27%), with PIMCO and Allianz Global Investors collectively managing over 2.3 trillion euros in third-party assets. Geographic revenue is split across Germany (roughly 23%), the rest of Europe (around 38%), the Americas (around 21%), and Asia-Pacific plus the rest of the world (around 18%). The group reported 2024 total business volume above 170 billion euros and operating profit near 16 billion euros, with a Solvency II ratio above 200%. At LHFX you trade Allianz as a CFD on ALVG, not as a shareholder. You profit or lose based on the Xetra-quoted EUR price moving in or against your position. You can go long or short. You never receive the underlying share, voting rights, or cash dividends, but your account is credited or debited a dividend adjustment when ALVG trades ex-dividend so that economic exposure stays equivalent. Allianz traditionally pays one annual dividend in May, with the 2024 dividend at 13.80 EUR per share and a stated payout policy of 60% of net income. Maximum leverage is 1:20 and trading hours follow Xetra, roughly 03:00 to 11:30 ET, Monday to Friday. Outside those hours the symbol does not quote and you cannot open or close positions.

Open an LHFX account, fund it (minimum 10 USD), and add ALVG to your MetaTrader 5 Market Watch. The symbol is denominated in EUR; P&L converts to your account base currency at end of day. Spreads on ALVG are raw, with a flat 3 USD per side commission. Maximum leverage is 1:20, so a 1,000 EUR position requires 50 EUR of margin. Worked example. With Allianz quoted around 280 EUR, opening 1 share equivalent of long ALVG at 1:20 leverage requires roughly 14 EUR in margin (280 / 20). A 5% adverse move costs 14 EUR, which is 100% of the margin posted. Scale to 5 share equivalents and you are at 70 EUR margin against a 70 EUR loss on a 5% drop. Allianz typically trades in a 1% daily range outside of earnings, with quarterly prints routinely producing 3 to 5% moves. Set a stop loss before entry. Annual results in February and the May ex-dividend date are the largest single-session catalysts. The May dividend (around 5% gross yield on the 2024 cash dividend) means long positions held overnight on the ex-div date receive an adjustment equivalent to the cash payment, but the share price typically opens lower by the same amount. Xetra closes at 11:30 ET. Overnight swap is charged on notional exposure and updates inside MT5 symbol specifications.
