How to Spread Bet on Aviva? |
If you are looking to invest in UK listed companies like Aviva then one possibility could be to place a spread bet on the Aviva share price.
Looking at a site like capital spreads, you can see they are currently pricing the Aviva Rolling Daily market at 339.9p - 340.6p. Therefore, an investor can spread bet on the Aviva share price:
 Increasing higher than 340.6p, or
 Decreasing lower than 339.9p
When financial spread betting on UK equities you trade in £x per penny. Therefore, if you decide to invest £4 per penny and the Aviva share price moves 24p then that would be a difference to your bottom line of £96. £4 per penny x 24p = £96.
Rolling Daily Equities Markets
You should note that this is a Rolling Daily Market which means that there is no closing date for this market. You do not have to close your trade, should it still be open at the end of the trading day, it just rolls over to the next day.
If your position does roll over and you are speculating on the market to:
Move higher - then you will often be charged a small financing fee, or
Move lower - then you'll often receive a small payment to your account
To learn more about Rolling Daily Markets please see Rolling Daily Spread Betting.
Aviva Rolling Daily - Equities Spread Trading Example |
So, if you think about the spread of 339.9p - 340.6p and make the assumptions:
- You've done your market research, and
- Your research leads you to think the Aviva shares are likely to go higher than 340.6p
Then you could decide that you want to buy a spread bet at 340.6p for a stake of £15 per penny.
Therefore, you make a profit of £15 for every penny that the Aviva shares push above 340.6p. However, it also means that you will make a loss of £15 for every penny that the Aviva market falls below 340.6p.
Put another way, should you ‘Buy’ a spread bet then your profit/loss is found by taking the difference between the settlement price of the market and the price you bought the spread at. You then multiply that difference in price by your stake.
With this in mind, if after a few sessions the shares moved higher then you might want to close your spread bet to lock in your profit.
So if the market rose then the spread, determined by the spread betting firm, could change to 350.8p - 351.5p. In order to close/settle your position you would sell at 350.8p. So, with the same £15 stake your profit would be:
Profit = (Settlement Price - Opening Price) x stake
Profit = (350.8p - 340.6p) x £15 per penny stake
Profit = 10.2p x £15 per penny stake
Profit = £153.00 profit
Speculating on shares doesn't always work out as you would have liked. In the above example, you wanted the share price to increase. However, it can also fall.
If the Aviva stock weakened, against your expectations, then you could close your position in order to limit your losses.
If the spread fell to 331.5p - 332.2p then you would settle your spread bet by selling at 331.5p. As a result, your loss would be:
Loss = (Settlement Price - Opening Price) x stake
Loss = (331.5p - 340.6p) x £15 per penny stake
Loss = -9.1p x £15 per penny stake
Loss = -£136.50 loss
Note: Aviva Rolling Daily spread betting market accurate as of 19-Oct-12.
