How to Spread Bet on III? |
If you are going to speculate on companies like III then one solution could be to spread bet on the III share price.
Looking at a financial spread betting platform like FinancialSpreads, you can see they are showing the III Rolling Daily market at 216.5p - 217.2p. This means you can spread bet on the III share price:
 Moving higher than 217.2p, or
 Moving lower than 216.5p
Whilst financial spread betting on FTSE 350 equities you trade in £x per penny. As a result, if you choose to invest £4 per penny and the III share price changes by 29p then that would be a difference to your P&L of £116. £4 per penny x 29p = £116.
Rolling Daily Equities Markets
An important aspect of this Rolling Daily Market is that there is no set settlement date for this market. If your position is still open at the end of the day, it just rolls over to the next trading session.
Should your spread bet roll over, if you are speculating that the market will:
Increase - then you will often be charged a small financing fee, or
Decrease - then you'll often receive a small payment to your account
For more information on Rolling Daily Markets, and a fully worked example, please see Rolling Daily Spread Betting.
III Rolling Daily - Equities Trading Example |
If you consider the spread of 216.5p - 217.2p and assume:
- You've analysed the sector, and
- Your analysis leads you to think that the III share price looks like it will move higher than 217.2p
Then you could decide that you want to buy a spread bet at 217.2p for a stake of £10 per penny.
With such a spread bet you make a profit of £10 for every penny that the III shares push above 217.2p. Conversely, however, it also means that you will lose £10 for every penny that the III market moves below 217.2p.
Thinking of this in a slightly different way, should you buy a spread bet then your profits (or losses) are found 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 the stake.
If after a few trading sessions the share price moved higher then you could consider closing your position in order to guarantee your profit.
So if the market increased then the spread, set by the spread betting company, might move up to 227.0p - 227.7p. You would close your position by selling at 227.0p. So, with the same £10 stake your profit would come to:
Your profit / loss = (Settlement Value - Opening Value) x stake
Your profit / loss = (227.0p - 217.2p) x £10 per penny stake
Your profit / loss = 9.8p x £10 per penny stake
Your profit / loss = £98.00 profit
Trading equities, whether by spread betting or not, is not easy. In this example, you had bet that the share price would rise. Nevertheless, the share price can also go down.
If the III stock began to fall then you could close your trade in order to restrict your losses.
Should the spread pull back to 205.8p - 206.5p then this means you would settle/close your trade by selling at 205.8p. If so, your loss would be calculated as:
Your profit / loss = (Settlement Value - Opening Value) x stake
Your profit / loss = (205.8p - 217.2p) x £10 per penny stake
Your profit / loss = -11.4p x £10 per penny stake
Your profit / loss = -£114.00 loss
Note: III (3i Group) Rolling Daily equities market taken as of 31-Oct-12.
