How to Spread Bet on Associated British Foods? |
If an investor wants to speculate on UK listed companies like AB Foods then one solution could be spread trading on the AB Foods share price.
Looking at a financial spread betting website like Inter Trader, you can see that they are currently valuing the AB Foods Rolling Daily market at 1359.3p - 1361.7p. This means an investor could spread bet on the AB Foods share price:
 Going above 1361.7p, or
 Going below 1359.3p
When financial spread trading on FTSE 350 shares you trade in £x per penny. So, if you chose to have a stake of £4 per penny and the AB Foods share price moves 35p then that would be a difference to your P&L of £140. £4 per penny x 35p = £140.
Rolling Daily Equities Markets
Be aware that this is a Rolling Daily Market and so there is no settlement date for this market. As a result, if your trade is still open at the end of the trading day, it will just roll over into the next trading session.
If you do roll over a bet and you are spread betting that the market will:
Rise - then you'll often be charged a small financing fee, or
Fall - then a small payment will usually be credited to your account

AB Foods Rolling Daily - Equities Spread Betting Example |
Now, if we consider the spread of 1359.3p - 1361.7p and make the assumptions that:
- You have done your market research, and
- Your research leads you to think the AB Foods share price is likely to increase and go higher than 1361.7p
Then you may choose to buy a spread bet at 1361.7p and invest £4 per penny.
This means that you win £4 for every penny that the AB Foods shares increase and move above 1361.7p. Having said that, such a bet also means that you will make a loss of £4 for every penny that the AB Foods market goes below 1361.7p.
Put another way, if you buy a spread bet then your profit/loss is worked out by taking the difference between the final price of the market and the initial price you bought the market at. You then multiply that price difference by your stake.
If after a few hours the share price started to move upwards then you could choose to close your trade in order to lock in your profit.
So if the market increased then the spread, set by the spread trading firm, might move up to 1395.7p - 1398.1p. In order to close your spread bet you would sell at 1395.7p. So, with the same £4 stake you would calculate your profit as:
Your profits (or losses) = (Closing Level - Initial Level) x stake
Your profits (or losses) = (1395.7p - 1361.7p) x £4 per penny stake
Your profits (or losses) = 34.0p x £4 per penny stake
Your profits (or losses) = £136.00 profit
Trading equities, by spread trading or otherwise, doesn't always go to plan. With this example, you wanted the share price to increase. Naturally, it might fall.
If the AB Foods shares had fallen then you might choose to close your spread bet to stop any further losses.
If the spread dropped to 1323.6p - 1326.0p then you would settle your trade by selling at 1323.6p. Accordingly, your loss would be:
Your profits (or losses) = (Closing Level - Initial Level) x stake
Your profits (or losses) = (1323.6p - 1361.7p) x £4 per penny stake
Your profits (or losses) = -38.1p x £4 per penny stake
Your profits (or losses) = -£152.40 loss
Note: AB Foods Rolling Daily market accurate as of 19-Oct-12.
