How to Spread Bet on British Asset Trust? |
Should you want to invest in UK listed companies such as British Asset Trust then one option could be to spread bet on the British Asset Trust share price.
Looking at a spread betting website like Tradefair, we can see they are currently pricing the British Asset Trust Rolling Daily market at 120.3p - 121.2p. This means an investor could spread bet on the British Asset Trust share price:
 Going higher than 121.2p, or
 Going lower than 120.3p
Whilst financial spread trading on UK equities you trade in £x per penny. So, if you staked £3 per penny and the British Asset Trust shares move 24p then that would alter your profits (or losses) by £72. £3 per penny x 24p = £72.
Rolling Daily Shares Markets
It is important to note that this is a Rolling Daily Market and so there is no set settlement date for this market. You do not have to close your position, should it still be open at the end of the trading day, it just rolls over into the next session.
If a bet is rolled over and you are speculating on the market to:
Rise - then you'll usually be charged a small overnight financing fee, or
Fall - then you will usually receive a small credit to your account
You can learn more about Rolling Daily Markets in our article Rolling Daily Spread Betting.
British Asset Trust Rolling Daily - Equities Spread Trading Example |
If you take the spread of 120.3p - 121.2p and assume:
- You have done your equities analysis, and
- Your research leads you to feel the British Asset Trust shares look like they will go above 121.2p
Then you could decide to buy a spread bet at 121.2p and invest, let’s say, £25 per penny.
So, you gain £25 for every penny that the British Asset Trust shares rise higher than 121.2p. However, it also means that you will lose £25 for every penny that the British Asset Trust market moves lower than 121.2p.
Considering this from another angle, should you buy a spread bet then your profits (or losses) are found by taking the difference between the closing price of the market and the price you bought the market at. You then multiply that price difference by your stake.
As a result, if after a few days the stock started to increase then you might want to close your position and therefore guarantee your profits.
Taking this a step further, if the market rose then the spread might move to 125.4p - 126.3p. To close your trade you would sell at 125.4p. Therefore, with the same £25 stake your profit would be calculated as:
Your profit / loss = (Settlement Value - Opening Value) x stake
Your profit / loss = (125.4p - 121.2p) x £25 per penny stake
Your profit / loss = 4.2p x £25 per penny stake
Your profit / loss = £105.00 profit
Trading shares, whether by spread betting or not, is not always simple. In this case, you had bet that the share price would rise. Of course, the share price could go down.
If the British Asset Trust shares had started to drop then you might decide to settle/close your spread bet in order to restrict your losses.
If the market fell to 117.6p - 118.5p then you would close your trade by selling at 117.6p. If so, this would result in a loss of:
Your profit / loss = (Settlement Value - Opening Value) x stake
Your profit / loss = (117.6p - 121.2p) x £25 per penny stake
Your profit / loss = -3.6p x £25 per penny stake
Your profit / loss = -£90.00 loss
