How to Spread Bet on Severn Trent? |
If an investor decides to invest in firms such as Severn Trent then one solution could be spread betting on the Severn Trent share price.
Looking at a site like Capitalspreads, you can see that they are currently pricing the Severn Trent Rolling Daily market at 1669.1p - 1672.9p. As a result, an investor could spread bet on the Severn Trent shares:
 Going higher than 1672.9p, or
 Going lower than 1669.1p
Whilst spread betting on UK equities you trade in £x per penny. As a result, if you invest £5 per penny and the Severn Trent share price moves 28p then that would make a difference to your P&L of £140. £5 per penny x 28p = £140.
Rolling Daily Equities Markets
You should note that this is a 'Rolling Daily Market', therefore there is no set settlement date for this market. You do not have to close your trade, should it still be open at the end of the trading day, it simply rolls over to the next session.
If your position is rolled over and you are speculating that the market will:
Go higher - then you will often be charged a small financing fee, or
Go lower - then a small payment will usually be credited to your account
If you would like a fully worked example then see Rolling Daily Spread Betting.
Severn Trent Rolling Daily - Equities Spread Trading Example |
If we think about the spread of 1669.1p - 1672.9p and make the assumptions:
- You have done your market research, and
- You feel that the Severn Trent shares will increase and move higher than 1672.9p
Then you might decide to buy at 1672.9p for a stake of, let’s say, £3 per penny.
With such a spread bet you win £3 for every penny that the Severn Trent shares rise above 1672.9p. Of course, you will make a loss of £3 for every penny that the Severn Trent market moves lower than 1672.9p.
Looking at this from another angle, if you buy a spread bet then your P&L is worked out by taking the difference between the closing price of the market and the initial price you bought the spread at. You then multiply that price difference by your stake.
If after a few days the share price moved higher then you could consider closing your trade in order to lock in your profit.
So if the market moved up then the spread, set by the spread betting company, might move up to 1719.9p - 1723.7p. To settle/close your trade you would sell at 1719.9p. As a result, with the same £3 stake this trade would result in a profit of:
Profit / loss = (Closing Price - Initial Price) x stake
Profit / loss = (1719.9p - 1672.9p) x £3 per penny stake
Profit / loss = 47.0p x £3 per penny stake
Profit / loss = £141.00 profit
Financial spread betting doesn't always work out as you would have liked. In the above example, you had bet that the share price would increase. Nevertheless, the share price might decrease.
If the Severn Trent shares had fallen then you might decide to close/settle your spread bet to stop any further losses.
Should the spread drop to 1631.1p - 1634.9p you would close your trade by selling at 1631.1p. That would mean you would lose:
Profit / loss = (Closing Price - Initial Price) x stake
Profit / loss = (1631.1p - 1672.9p) x £3 per penny stake
Profit / loss = -41.8p x £3 per penny stake
Profit / loss = -£125.40 loss
Note - Severn Trent Rolling Daily spread quoted as of 19-Oct-12.
