What is Financial Spread Betting?

Financial Spread Betting is a way to bet on the direction of market movements. You stake an amount per point of movement in the underlying market, with profits or losses determined by how accurate your prediction is.

Key Features

Tax Efficiency*

In certain jurisdictions, spread betting may be exempt from capital gains tax and stamp duty, making it potentially tax-efficient.

* Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and may change.

Flexible Stake Sizes

Choose your stake per point, allowing for precise risk management and position sizing according to your trading strategy.

Wide Market Access

Bet on forex, indices, commodities, and individual stocks across global markets from a single account.

Guaranteed Stops

Protect your account with guaranteed stop losses that execute at your chosen level regardless of market gaps.

How It Works

Example: FTSE 100 Spread Bet

Market: FTSE 100 Index trading at 7500-7502

Your View: Market will rise

Bet: £10 per point, buy at 7502

Outcome 1: Index rises to 7550 → Profit: £480 (48 points × £10)

Outcome 2: Index falls to 7450 → Loss: £520 (52 points × £10)

This is a simplified example. Actual trading involves additional considerations such as overnight funding charges and potential slippage.
