Sectors Spread Betting

Sectors spread betting is a convenient way of taking a position on an entire industry by giving investors exposure to a basket of underlying stocks in a particular sector.

Sectors Spread Betting

Sectors are groups of firms that all operate within the same industry. For example, companies such as Barclays, RBS, Lloyds and HSBC would all come under the Banking sector and are subject to the same general trading conditions and economic pressures as each other.

Even when a sector or industry is performing well, some firms within the sector can perform poorly and so sector spread betting can be an effective way of diversifying this risk.

As an example, if you think that the current outlook is upbeat for the Retail Sector, but you're not sure which particular retail stock to buy, you could buy the UK Retail Sector and therefore gain exposure to a group of the leading retail companies.
