How to Spread Bet on Infosys? |
If you want to invest in US listed companies such as Infosys then one solution could be spread trading on the Infosys share price.
Looking at a platform like Inter Trader, we can see that they have priced the Infosys Rolling Daily market at $52.59 - $52.69. Therefore, an investor could spread trade on the Infosys shares:
 Increasing higher than $52.69, or
 Decreasing lower than $52.59
Whilst financial spread betting on US shares you trade in £x per cent. As a result, if you choose to invest £4 per cent and the Infosys share price moves $0.35 then that would alter your profit/loss by £140. £4 per cent x $0.35 = £140.
You can also invest in 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 which means that there is no predetermined closing date for this market. As a result, if your trade is still open at the end of the trading day, it just rolls over to the next trading session.
Should your spread bet roll over, if you are speculating that the market will:
Move up - then you would normally pay a small financing fee, or
Move down - then you'll usually receive a small credit to your account
For a fully worked example see Rolling Daily Spread Betting.
Infosys Rolling Daily - US Equities Trading Example |
So, if you continue with the spread of $52.59 - $52.69 and assume that:
- You have analysed the shares, and
- You think the Infosys share price is likely to increase and go above $52.69
Then you may decide to buy a spread bet at $52.69 for a stake of £3 per cent.
This means that you make a profit of £3 for every cent that the Infosys shares go higher than $52.69. However, it also means that you will make a loss of £3 for every cent that the Infosys market falls below $52.69.
Considering this from another angle, if you buy a spread bet then your P&L is calculated 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 the stake.
Therefore, if after a few days the stock rose then you might want to close your position and therefore lock in your profits.
Taking this a step further, if the market rose then the spread, set by the spread trading company, might change to $53.31 - $53.41. You would close/settle your spread bet by selling at $53.31. Therefore, with the same £3 stake your profit would be calculated as:
Profits (or losses) = (Settlement Level - Initial Level) x stake
Profits (or losses) = ($53.31 - $52.69) x £3 per cent stake
Profits (or losses) = $0.62 x £3 per cent stake
Profits (or losses) = 62¢ x £3 per cent stake
Profits (or losses) = £186 profit
Trading equities, by spread trading or otherwise, may not go to plan. In this example, you wanted the share price to rise. Naturally, the share price could go down.
If the Infosys shares decreased, contrary to your expectations, then you could choose to close your spread bet to limit your losses.
Should the spread fall back to $52.11 - $52.21 then this means you would settle your spread bet by selling at $52.11. Accordingly, your loss would be:
Profits (or losses) = (Settlement Level - Initial Level) x stake
Profits (or losses) = ($52.11 - $52.69) x £3 per cent stake
Profits (or losses) = -$0.58 x £3 per cent stake
Profits (or losses) = -58¢ x £3 per cent stake
Profits (or losses) = -£174 loss
Note: Infosys Rolling Daily spread quoted as of 06-Feb-13.
