You never own the asset itseöf. Just the right to the return that is accrued during the time you own the CFD. CFD certificates are designed with day trading in mind and most CFD positions are closed the same day they are opened. You are allowed to keep the position open overnight if you want to.

When you buy a leveraged position the broker by the underlying asset on the market. The size of the position they buy corresponds to the size of your investment and the leveraged used. Ie if you buy an x30 CFD for USD1000 then the broker will buy USD30 000 worth of the underlying asset on the open market. The overnight fee is based on the fact that the broker basically lends you 30 000 to invest. You do not have to pay anything if you close the position the same day because then the broker never has to front you the money.
