Key Information Document - Stock Index Spread Bet

Product Description : An Index Spread Bet is a leveraged financial derivative based on a basket of shares, otherwise known as an Index, such as the UK 100.

Objective : Allows investor to speculate on the price movement of an Index without ever taking delivery of any shares.

Intended Retail Investor : Small to large scale investors who want to speculate on movements in the foreign exchange market.

Nature of Product

A Spread Bet is a financial product under which the parties agree to exchange the difference, in cash, between the opening price and the closing price of a trade.

Spread Bets are leveraged financial products, meaning that you only have to outlay a small percentage of the notional value of a transaction.

There are a number of different order types that you can place in connection to a trade to manage your risk such as stop loss, trailing stop loss and guaranteed stop loss orders.

Please make sure you fully understand the nature of spread betting and the below risks associated with trading such products before making a decision to trade as there is a chance you can lose significantly more than your initial deposit.

Spread betting, CFDs and margined forex trading are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. Typically 70-80% of retail investors lose money when trading these products. You should consider whether you understand how these products work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money. Click here to see the risk warning notice .

Risks of Product

Although Spread Bets allow you to speculate on the rise and fall of global financial markets at a relatively low cost, without ever owning the underlying asset, they are considered to be risky products:

Counterparty risk - Spread Bets are "over the counter" (OTC) products, which means that they are not traded on a licensed financial market, such as a Stock Exchange.

Leverage risk - The leverage nature of Spread Bets means that a relatively small move in the price can cause an immediate and substantial loss to you, including a loss far greater than the amount of your initial investment.

Gapping risk - Financial markets can be very volatile. Gapping refers to an occurrence whereby the quoted price moves sharply from one level to the next, through an order level meaning your order may be executed at a worse price than you had hoped for which may incur losses beyond expectation.

Costs of Product

The principle cost or commission of trading Spread Bets is incorporated in what is known as the Spread, which is the difference between the sell and buy price.

There is a cost of holding Index Spread Bets overnight, known as the Overnight Financing Charge.

The effect of these adjustments is to mirror the effect of us financing the asset in the underlying market on your behalf.

When holding long positions your account will typically be debited with the charge and, when holding short positions, it may lead to you being credited with the charge but it will depend on the relative interest rates of the country of the underlying market.

In this article, we’ll cover the essentials of spread betting , including strategies, tips and examples of a spread bet. This article should guide you towards understanding if spread betting is a suitable trading method for you. Watch the video below to get started.
Spread betting is a tax-efficient* way of speculating on the price movement of thousands of global financial instruments , including spread betting forex , indices, cryptocurrencies, commodities, shares and treasuries. Spread betting is one of the most common ways to trade on price action over several asset classes in the UK and Ireland. Spread betters can trade in both directions (‘buy’ or ‘sell’), and can make use of financial leverage to increase their trade exposure. With a spread betting account, you can choose between trading from home and on-the-go, as our platform is very flexible for traders of all experience levels.
With spread betting trading in the UK, you don't buy or sell the underlying instrument (for example a physical share or commodity). Instead, you place a spread bet based on whether you expect the price of an instrument to go up or down. If you expect the value of a share or commodity to rise, you would open a long position (buy). Conversely, if you expect the share or commodity to fall in value, you would take a short position (sell). You will make a profit or loss based on whether or not the market moves in your chosen direction.
With spread betting, you buy or sell a pre-determined amount per point of movement for the instrument you are trading, such as £5 per point. This is known as your spread bet 'stake' size. This means that for every point that the price of the instrument moves in your favour, you will gain multiples of your stake times the number of points by which the instrument price has moved in your favour. On the other hand, you will lose multiples of your stake for every point the price moves against you. Please note that with spread betting, losses are based on the full value of the position. See our spread betting examples for more information on how to spread bet.
The difference between the buy price and sell price is referred to as the spread. As one of the leading providers of spread betting in the UK, we offer consistently competitive spreads. See our range of markets for more information about our spreads.
Spread betting is a leveraged product, which means you only need to deposit a small percentage of the full value of the spread bet in order to open a position (also called trading on margin ). While margined (or leveraged) trading allows you to magnify your returns, losses will also be magnified as they are based on the full value of the position.
Many investors choose to spread bet on the financial markets as there are advantages of spreading betting over buying physical assets:
Before placing your trade, remember to make sure that you have followed risk-management guidelines as part of your strategy.
A spread-betting strategy is a pre-determined plan that helps you to define your market entry and exit points, and accompanying risk-management conditions such as stop-losses. When utilising a trading plan as part of your wider trading strategy, you aim to create a process in which you can monitor and forecast trade outcomes.
When trading with a spread betting account, it’s best practice to outline and follow your own trading strategy template relative to your needs. Strategy templates define a set of rules you should follow for every trade, helping you to remove emotions and irrational responses from your trading strategy. This helps to keep consistency within your trades, and can help improve your trading mindset. Visit our article on creating a trading strategy template , where you can follow an example to help define your strategy.
Every trader utilises different methods and strategies to suit their trading style. There are, however, some common spread betting tips a trader can utilise in order to maximise their trading potential:
See our article on spread betting tips and strategies , where we cover the topic in more depth.
It's a good idea to keep up to date with current affairs and news because real-world events often influence market prices. As an example, let's look at the UK government’s help to buy housing scheme.
Many believed that this scheme would boost UK home builders' profitability. Let's say you agreed and decided to place a buy spread bet on Barratt Developments at £10 per point just before the market closed.
Let's say that Barratt Developments was trading at 255 / 256 (where 255 is the sell price and 256 is the buy price). In this example, the spread is 1.
Let's assume that you opened a long position at £10 per point because you thought the price of Barratt Developments would go up. For every point that Barratts' share price moved up or down, you would have netted a profit or loss multiplied by your stake amount.
Let's say your spread betting prediction was correct and Barratt Developments' shares then rose to 306 / 307. You decide to close your buy bet by selling at 306 (the current sell price).
The price has moved 50 points (306 sell price – 256 initial buy price) in your favour. Multiply this by your stake of £10 to calculate your profit, which is £500.
Unfortunately, your spread betting prediction was wrong and the price of Barratt Developments' shares dropped over the next month to 206 / 207. You feel that the price is likely to continue dropping, so to limit your losses you decide to sell at 206 (the current sell price) to close the bet.
The price has moved 50 points (256 – 206) against you. Multiply this by your stake of £10 to calculate your loss, which is £500.

Spread betting works by traders speculating on whether a financial instrument’s price will rise or fall. Spread betters can go long (buy) if they believe the price of an asset will go up, or go short (sell) if they believe the market will start a downtrend. Learn more about spread betting .
Spread betting can be profitable, depending on multiple factors, but it’s also possible to make a loss. Most successful traders manage to make profitable trades by following a systematic trading plan, including in-depth fundamental and technical analysis, risk-management systems and several years of applicable knowledge.
