How to Spread Bet on Alliance Trust? |
If you are going to invest in companies like Alliance Trust then one solution could be to spread trade on the Alliance Trust share price.
Looking at a spread trading site like Financial Spreads, you can see that they are offering the Alliance Trust Rolling Daily market at 367.7p - 369.3p. This means that you can put a spread bet on the Alliance Trust share price:
 Going higher than 369.3p, or
 Going lower than 367.7p
Whilst spread trading on UK equities you trade in £x per penny. Therefore, if you choose to risk £4 per penny and the Alliance Trust share price changes by 25p then there would be a difference to your bottom line of £100. £4 per penny x 25p = £100.
Rolling Daily Shares Markets
Be aware that this is a Rolling Daily Market which means that there is no settlement date for this market. If you decide to leave your trade open at the end of the day, it will roll over to the next trading day.
If you allow your position to roll over and are spread betting on the market to:
Increase - then you are charged a small overnight financing fee, or
Decrease - then you will normally receive a small credit to your account

Alliance Trust Rolling Daily - Shares Spread Betting Example |
If we continue with the spread of 367.7p - 369.3p and assume:
- You've analysed the stock market, and
- Your analysis suggests that the Alliance Trust share price looks like it will rise above 369.3p
Then you could decide that you are going to buy at 369.3p and risk, let’s say, £15 per penny.
So, you win £15 for every penny that the Alliance Trust shares go higher than 369.3p. Having said that, such a bet also means that you will make a loss of £15 for every penny that the Alliance Trust market goes below 369.3p.
Looked at another way, should you buy a spread bet then your P&L is calculated by taking the difference between the settlement price of the market and the initial price you bought the spread at. You then multiply that difference in price by the stake.
With this in mind, if after a few hours the shares moved higher then you could consider closing your position in order to lock in your profit.
So if the market increased then the spread might move to 376.7p - 378.3p. In order to close/settle your position you would sell at 376.7p. So, with the same £15 stake:
Profit = (Closing Price - Opening Price) x stake
Profit = (376.7p - 369.3p) x £15 per penny stake
Profit = 7.4p x £15 per penny stake
Profit = £111.00 profit
Financial spread betting on shares is not always simple. In this example, you wanted the share price to increase. Of course, it might decrease.
If the Alliance Trust share price weakened, against your expectations, then you might choose to close your trade in order to limit your losses.
Should the market pull back to 360.8p - 362.4p then you would close your trade by selling at 360.8p. So your loss would be calculated as:
Loss = (Closing Price - Opening Price) x stake
Loss = (360.8p - 369.3p) x £15 per penny stake
Loss = -8.5p x £15 per penny stake
Loss = -£127.50 loss
Note: Alliance Trust Rolling Daily spread accurate as of 31-Oct-12.
