Introduction
An introduction
Financial spread betting allows you to trade on whether the price quoted for a financial instrument will go up or down.
This instrument could be an equity such as BP’s shares, or a bond, commodity or a foreign currency pairing (e.g. dollar-euro). Or it could be an index such as the FTSE 100 (this is known as UK100 on the platforms we use) All Share or Dow Jones (this is known as US30 on the platforms we use).
How it works
Trade on whether you think an instrument’s value will go up or down.
Why do it
Low transaction costs and you can access a broad range of markets.
How to do it
With spread betting you can have an interest in price movements of an asset, without buying it.
