Financial Spread Trading (or spread betting), lets you use your judgement to make more of the market’s ups and downs. You do this by predicting the price movements of equities, currencies, indices or commodities. Get your prediction right and you can make money in a rising or falling market. Of course, get it wrong and you will make a loss.
What’s more, profits are free from capital gains tax and UK stamp duty*. Of course with volatile markets, the risks can be greater. But so can the rewards.
Benefits of financial spread trading with us
- Access UK, US and Euro equities, currencies, indices and commodities
- Deposit of 10% rather than the full cost of the contract, so you could make big gains (and losses) on a small capital outlay
- Free of UK Stamp Duty*
- Small minimum stake size, instant execution
Spread betting carries a high level of risk to your capital and you should only deal with money you can afford to lose. The value of investments can fall as well as rise and you can lose significantly more than your initial margin or deposit payment.
