How to Spread Bet on Foreign and Col Investment Trust ? |
If you are going to invest in companies like Foreign & Colonial Investment Trust then one option is to spread trade on the Foreign & Colonial share price.
Looking at a spread betting site like Tradefair, you can see that they have priced the Foreign & Colonial Rolling Daily market at 310.6p - 311.9p. Therefore, an investor could put a spread bet on the Foreign & Colonial shares:
 Rising above 311.9p, or
 Falling below 310.6p
Whilst spread trading on UK shares you trade in £x per penny. As a result, if you choose to invest £3 per penny and the Foreign & Colonial share price moves 38p then that would change your profits (or losses) by £114. £3 per penny x 38p = £114.
Rolling Daily Equities Markets
It is important to note that this is a Rolling Daily Market and so there is no settlement date for this market. If your position is still open at the end of the day, it simply rolls over to the next trading day.
If you do roll over a bet and you are spread betting that the market will:
Move up - then you are normally charged a small financing fee, or
Move down - then you'll normally receive a small credit to your account
You can learn more about Rolling Daily Markets in our article Rolling Daily Spread Betting.
Foreign & Colonial Rolling Daily - Equities Trading Example |
So, if you think about the spread of 310.6p - 311.9p and make the assumptions:
- You've done your analysis of the shares, and
- You feel that the Foreign & Colonial shares are likely to push above 311.9p
Then you could decide to go long of the market at 311.9p for a stake of £10 per penny.
With such a bet you make a profit of £10 for every penny that the Foreign & Colonial shares go higher than 311.9p. However, you will make a loss of £10 for every penny that the Foreign & Colonial market falls below 311.9p.
Looking at this from another angle, if you were to buy a spread bet then your P&L 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 days the shares rose then you might consider closing your trade so that you can secure your profit.
If that happened then the spread, determined by the spread betting company, could be adjusted to 325.5p - 326.8p. You would close your trade by selling at 325.5p. So, with the same £10 stake your profit would come to:
P&L = (Settlement Value - Opening Value) x stake
P&L = (325.5p - 311.9p) x £10 per penny stake
P&L = 13.6p x £10 per penny stake
P&L = £136.00 profit
Trading equities, by spread betting or otherwise, is not simple. With this example, you wanted the share price to increase. Of course, the share price could decrease.
If the Foreign & Colonial share price weakened, against your expectations, then you might choose to close your spread bet to stop any further losses.
If the spread dropped to 299.4p - 300.7p then this means you would close your spread bet by selling at 299.4p. If so, this would result in a loss of:
P&L = (Settlement Value - Opening Value) x stake
P&L = (299.4p - 311.9p) x £10 per penny stake
P&L = -12.5p x £10 per penny stake
P&L = -£125.00 loss
Note - Foreign & Colonial Investment Trust Rolling Daily spread betting price correct as of 31-Oct-12.
