How to Spread Bet on Serco Group? |
If you are looking to invest in UK listed companies such as Serco then one possibility could be spread trading on the Serco share price.
Looking at a spread trading website like InterTrader, we can see they are currently valuing the Serco Rolling Daily market at 575.7p - 576.8p. This means an investor can spread trade on the Serco share price:
 Increasing above 576.8p, or
 Decreasing below 575.7p
When spread betting on UK equities you trade in £x per penny. So, if you invested £3 per penny and the Serco shares move 33p then that would change your profit/loss by £99. £3 per penny x 33p = £99.
Rolling Daily Equities Markets
Be aware that this is a Rolling Daily Market and so there is no predetermined settlement date for this market. As a result, if your trade is still open at the end of the trading day, it will stay open and roll over into the next day.
If your position does roll over and you are speculating on the market to:
Increase - then you'll pay a small overnight financing fee, or
Decrease - then a small payment is often credited to your account
For more information on Rolling Daily Markets, and a fully worked example, please see Rolling Daily Spread Betting.
Serco Rolling Daily - Shares Spread Betting Example |
So, if you continue with the spread of 575.7p - 576.8p and make the assumptions:
- You have analysed the sector, and
- Your analysis leads you to think the Serco shares are likely to move above 576.8p
Then you may buy a spread bet at 576.8p and risk £5 per penny.
With such a spread bet you win £5 for every penny that the Serco shares increase and move higher than 576.8p. Nevertheless, such a bet also means that you will make a loss of £5 for every penny that the Serco market decreases lower than 576.8p.
Looked at another way, if you buy a spread bet then your P&L is calculated by taking the difference between the final price of the market and the price you bought the spread at. You then multiply that price difference by the stake.
As a result, if after a few days the stock moved higher then you could consider closing your spread bet so that you can lock in your profit.
Taking this a step further, if the market did go up then the spread, determined by the spread betting firm, could change to 599.9p - 601.0p. To settle/close your trade you would sell at 599.9p. Accordingly, with the same £5 stake this trade would result in a profit of:
P&L = (Closing Value - Opening Value) x stake
P&L = (599.9p - 576.8p) x £5 per penny stake
P&L = 23.1p x £5 per penny stake
P&L = £115.50 profit
Spread betting on shares is not simple. In this case, you wanted the share price to rise. Nevertheless, the share price might decrease.
If the Serco share price dropped then you might decide to settle/close your spread bet in order to restrict your losses.
If the spread dropped to 557.2p - 558.3p then this means you would close your spread bet by selling at 557.2p. If so, this would result in a loss of:
P&L = (Closing Value - Opening Value) x stake
P&L = (557.2p - 576.8p) x £5 per penny stake
P&L = -19.6p x £5 per penny stake
P&L = -£98.00 loss
Note - Serco Rolling Daily equities market taken as of 19-Oct-12.
