How to Spread Bet on Heineken? |
If an investor wants to invest in European companies like Heineken then one option could be spread betting on the Heineken share price.
Looking at a spread betting site like InterTrader, we can see that they are offering the Heineken Rolling Daily market at €51.41 - €51.55. This means an investor can spread trade on the Heineken shares:
 Moving above €51.55, or
 Moving below €51.41
When spread betting on Dutch equities you trade in £x per cent. As a result, if you invested £4 per cent and the Heineken shares move €0.21 then there would be a difference to your profits (or losses) of £84. £4 per cent x €0.21 = £84.
You can also trade this market in Dollars or Euros, e.g. €x per cent.
Rolling Daily Equities Markets
You should note that this is a 'Rolling Daily Market', therefore in contrast with futures markets, there is no closing date. You do not have to close your position, should it still be open at the end of the trading day, it simply keeps rolling over into the next trading session.
If a trade is rolled over and you are spread betting on the market to:
Rise - then you'll often be charged a small financing fee, or
Fall - then you will usually receive a small credit to your account
Our article Rolling Daily Spread Betting goes into more detail about Rolling Daily Markets and includes a fully worked example.
Heineken Rolling Daily - Dutch Shares Spread Trading Example |
Now, if you consider the spread of €51.41 - €51.55 and assume:
- You've completed your company analysis, and
- Your analysis leads you to feel that the Heineken shares look like they will increase and move higher than €51.55
Then you may buy a spread bet at €51.55 and invest, for the sake of argument, £3 per cent.
This means that you make a profit of £3 for every cent that the Heineken shares move above €51.55. Nevertheless, you will make a loss of £3 for every cent that the Heineken market decreases below €51.55.
Thinking of this in a slightly different way, if you were to ‘Buy’ a spread bet then your profit/loss 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 price difference by your stake.
As a result, if after a few days the stock started to rise you might decide to close your position in order to guarantee your profit.
So if the market rose then the spread might move to €51.94 - €52.08. You would close/settle your spread bet by selling at €51.94. As a result, with the same £3 stake:
Your Profits (or losses) = (Final Level - Opening Level) x stake
Your Profits (or losses) = (€51.94 - €51.55) x £3 per cent stake
Your Profits (or losses) = €0.39 x £3 per cent stake
Your Profits (or losses) = 39c x £3 per cent stake
Your Profits (or losses) = £117 profit
Speculating on shares, whether by spread betting or otherwise, is not straightforward. With this example, you had bet that the share price would go up. Naturally, the share price might go down.
If the Heineken shares fell then you might choose to close your position in order to limit your losses.
If the market fell to €51.22 - €51.36 then this means you would settle/close your trade by selling at €51.22. So your loss would be calculated as:
Your Profits (or losses) = (Final Level - Opening Level) x stake
Your Profits (or losses) = (€51.22 - €51.55) x £3 per cent stake
Your Profits (or losses) = -€0.33 x £3 per cent stake
Your Profits (or losses) = -33c x £3 per cent stake
Your Profits (or losses) = -£99 loss
Note - Heineken Rolling Daily market taken as of 23-Jan-13.
