How to Spread Bet on Simon Property? |
If you are going to invest in US listed companies such as Simon Property then one possibility is to spread trade on the Simon Property share price.
Looking at a spread betting website like Inter Trader, we can see that they are pricing the Simon Property Rolling Daily market at $161.35 - $161.58. Therefore, an investor could spread bet on the Simon Property shares:
 Increasing higher than $161.58, or
 Decreasing lower than $161.35
Whilst spread betting on US equities you trade in £x per cent. Therefore, if you decided to have a stake of £3 per cent and the Simon Property share price moves $0.38 then that would alter your profits (or losses) by £114. £3 per cent x $0.38 = £114.
You are also able to trade this market in Euros or Dollars, e.g. €x per cent.
Rolling Daily Shares Markets
One important thing to note is that this is a 'Rolling Daily Market' and therefore there is no closing 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 will roll over to the next session.
If you do roll over a position and you are spread betting that the market will:
Rise - then you will normally be charged a small financing fee, or
Fall - then you'll normally receive a small credit to your account
You can find more on Rolling Daily Markets, as well as a fully worked example, in our feature Rolling Daily Spread Betting.
Simon Property Rolling Daily - US Equities Spread Trading Example |
So, if we take the spread of $161.35 - $161.58 and assume:
- You have done your equities analysis, and
- Your analysis suggests the Simon Property share price looks like it will move above $161.58
Then you may decide that you are going to go long of the market at $161.58 for a stake of, let’s say, £2 per cent.
With such a spread bet you make a profit of £2 for every cent that the Simon Property shares rise higher than $161.58. However, it also means that you will make a loss of £2 for every cent that the Simon Property market goes below $161.58.
Thinking of this in a slightly different way, if you buy a spread bet then your profit/loss is calculated 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.
With this in mind, if after a few days the share price rose then you might want to close your trade so that you can secure your profit.
Taking this a step further, if the market rose then the spread, set by the spread trading firm, might move up to $162.55 - $162.78. You would close/settle your spread bet by selling at $162.55. Therefore, with the same £2 stake this trade would make you a profit of:
Profit / loss = (Closing Price - Opening Price) x stake
Profit / loss = ($162.55 - $161.58) x £2 per cent stake
Profit / loss = $0.97 x £2 per cent stake
Profit / loss = 97¢ x £2 per cent stake
Profit / loss = £194 profit
Trading shares, by spread betting or otherwise, is not always straightforward. In this case, you had bet that the share price would go up. Naturally, the share price can also go down.
If the Simon Property stock dropped then you could close your spread bet in order to limit your losses.
So if the market pulled back to $160.69 - $160.92 you would settle your spread bet by selling at $160.69. Therefore, you would make a loss of:
Profit / loss = (Closing Price - Opening Price) x stake
Profit / loss = ($160.69 - $161.58) x £2 per cent stake
Profit / loss = -$0.89 x £2 per cent stake
Profit / loss = -89¢ x £2 per cent stake
Profit / loss = -£178 loss
Note - Simon Property Rolling Daily spread betting price correct as of 06-Feb-13.
