How to Spread Bet on Unite Group

How to Spread Bet on Unite Group?


If an investor wants to invest in firms like Unite Group then one option could be to place a spread bet on the Unite Group share price.

Looking at a financial spread betting site like Inter Trader, you can see that they are offering the Unite Group Rolling Daily market at 285.3p - 286.4p. As a result, you can put a spread bet on the Unite Group shares:

  Unite Group Spread Betting Example Going above 286.4p, or
  Unite Group Spread Trading Example Going below 285.3p

When financial spread betting on FTSE 350 equities you trade in £x per penny. So, should you decide to risk £4 per penny and the Unite Group share price changes by 36p then there would be a difference to your profits (or losses) of £144. £4 per penny x 36p = £144.

Rolling Daily Equities Markets

Be aware that this is a Rolling Daily Market and so in contrast with futures markets, there is no settlement date. If a trade is still open when the markets close at the end of the day, it simply keeps rolling over into the next day.

If you do roll over a bet and you are spread betting that the market will:

  Unite Group Spread Trading Example Go up - then you will pay a small overnight financing fee, or
  Unite Group Spread Trading Example Go down - then you will often receive a small payment to your account

You can learn more in our feature Rolling Daily Spread Betting.


Unite Group Rolling Daily - Equities Spread Trading Example


If we continue with the spread of 285.3p - 286.4p and assume:
  • You've completed your company analysis, and
  • Your analysis suggests the Unite Group shares look like they will move higher than 286.4p
Then you may decide to buy a spread bet at 286.4p and invest, for the sake of argument, £15 per penny.

So, you win £15 for every penny that the Unite Group shares increase and go above 286.4p. On the other hand, it also means you will make a loss of £15 for every penny that the Unite Group market goes lower than 286.4p.

Looked at another way, should you ‘Buy’ a spread bet then your P&L is found 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.

As a result, if after a few days the share price started to increase then you might want to close your spread bet so that you can lock in your profit. As an example, if the market increased then the spread, set by the spread betting company, might move up to 294.1p - 295.2p. To close your position you would sell at 294.1p. So, with the same £15 stake you would make:

P&L = (Final Price - Opening Price) x stake
P&L = (294.1p - 286.4p) x £15 per penny stake
P&L = 7.7p x £15 per penny stake
P&L = £115.50 profit

Financial spread trading doesn't always work out as you would have liked. With this example, you wanted the share price to increase. Naturally, the share price can also go down.

If the Unite Group stock began to fall then you might decide to settle/close your spread bet in order to restrict your losses.

Should the market pull back to 279.5p - 280.6p you would close your spread bet by selling at 279.5p. If so, your loss would be calculated as:

P&L = (Final Price - Opening Price) x stake
P&L = (279.5p - 286.4p) x £15 per penny stake
P&L = -6.9p x £15 per penny stake
P&L = -£103.50 loss
