Financial spread betting has a number of key advantages over traditional trading methods including:
No capital gains tax* or stamp duty – You can benefit from all the price action of ownership without having to pay stamp duty or CGT* on any profits and the lack of share certificates and registration makes administration easy.
Trade in falling as well as rising markets – How many times have you sat there looking at a share price or chart and thought “I really think this is a sell right now.”? With Spreadex you can take advantage of falling markets as well as rising markets by going short (selling) with a spread bet.
Offset the risk of your existing portfolio or investments - You may have built up a nice investment portfolio which you would like to protect in the event of a major market downturn. By shorting against your investments in the spread betting market you can protect your portfolio against adverse movements in the event of a market crash.
Low cost of entry – As you are trading a leveraged product and you don’t actually own the underlying stock, you only need to stump up a fraction of the cost of trading in the physical underlying asset. In addition, minimum stakes are only £1, so you can start small without risking too much capital.
*Tax treatment depends on the individual circumstances of each client and may be subject to change in the future.
