How to Spread Bet on Aviva? |
If you want to speculate on firms like Aviva then one solution could be spread betting on the Aviva share price.
Looking at a spread trading website like Selftrade Markets, we can see that they are showing the Aviva Rolling Daily market at 341.5p - 342.1p. This means you can put a spread bet on the Aviva share price:
Going higher than 342.1p, or
Going lower than 341.5p
When spread betting on UK equities you trade in £x per penny. As a result, should you decide to risk £4 per penny and the Aviva share price changes by 30p then that would alter your profits (or losses) by £120. £4 per penny x 30p = £120.
Rolling Daily Shares Markets
One important thing to note is that this is a 'Rolling Daily Market' and therefore there is no preset closing date for this market. If you leave your trade open at the end of the day, it simply rolls over to the next session.
If a bet is rolled over and you are speculating on the market to:
Increase - then you'll be charged a small overnight financing fee, or
Decrease - then you will often receive a small payment to your account

Aviva Rolling Daily - Equities Spread Betting Example |
If we consider the spread of 341.5p - 342.1p and make the assumptions:
- You have completed your analysis of the sector, and
- Your research leads you to think that the Aviva share price is likely to increase and move above 342.1p
Then you could decide that you want to go long of the market at 342.1p for a stake of, for the sake of argument, £10 per penny.
So, you make a profit of £10 for every penny that the Aviva shares increase and go higher than 342.1p. However, such a bet also means that you will lose £10 for every penny that the Aviva market moves lower than 342.1p.
Looked at another way, should you buy a spread bet then your P&L is worked out 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 your stake.
As a result, if after a few trading sessions the stock rose then you might consider closing your position to secure your profit.
As an example, should the market rise, the spread, set by the spread betting company, could change to 354.1p - 354.7p. To close your trade you would sell at 354.1p. Therefore, with the same £10 stake your profit would come to:
P&L = (Final Price - Opening Price) x stake
P&L = (354.1p - 342.1p) x £10 per penny stake
P&L = 12.0p x £10 per penny stake
P&L = £120.00 profit
Financial spread betting is not always simple. In this example, you had bet that the share price would increase. Nevertheless, the share price might go down.
If the Aviva share price had fallen then you could choose to close your spread bet to stop any further losses.
Should the spread drop to 331.8p - 332.4p you would settle/close your trade by selling at 331.8p. If so, that would mean you would lose:
P&L = (Final Price - Opening Price) x stake
P&L = (331.8p - 342.1p) x £10 per penny stake
P&L = -10.3p x £10 per penny stake
P&L = -£103.00 loss
