How to Spread Bet on United Utilities? |
If you want to invest in companies like United Utilities then one possibility could be spread betting on the United Utilities share price.
Looking at InterTrader, you can see they are currently offering the United Utilities Rolling Daily market at 724.6p - 725.9p. This means an investor could spread trade on the United Utilities shares:
 Moving higher than 725.9p, or
 Moving lower than 724.6p
When financial spread trading on FTSE 350 equities you trade in £x per penny. As a result, should you decide to risk £5 per penny and the United Utilities share price moves 39p then that would alter your profit/loss by £195. £5 per penny x 39p = £195.
Rolling Daily Equities Markets
This is a Rolling Daily Market which means that unlike a normal futures market, there is no closing date. If you leave your trade open at the end of the day, it simply rolls over to the next trading day.
If a bet is rolled over and you are spread betting on the market to:
Go higher - then you'll be charged a small overnight financing fee, or
Go lower - then you will usually 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.
United Utilities Rolling Daily - Equities Trading Example |
Now, if you think about the spread of 724.6p - 725.9p and make the assumptions that:
- You have completed your market analysis, and
- Your research leads you to think that the United Utilities share price will move higher than 725.9p
Then you may decide to go long of the market at 725.9p for a stake of, let’s say, £4 per penny.
Therefore, you win £4 for every penny that the United Utilities shares go above 725.9p. Nevertheless, you will lose £4 for every penny that the United Utilities market decreases below 725.9p.
Considering this from another angle, if you buy a spread bet then your profits (or losses) are found by taking the difference between the closing price of the market and the price you bought the market at. You then multiply that difference in price by the stake.
As a result, if after a few trading sessions the share price started to rise you might decide to close your spread bet so that you can secure your profit.
Taking this a step further, if the market rose then the spread, set by the spreads firm, might be adjusted to 762.2p - 763.5p. You would close your trade by selling at 762.2p. So, with the same £4 stake your profit would be calculated as:
Profit / loss = (Closing Value - Opening Value) x stake
Profit / loss = (762.2p - 725.9p) x £4 per penny stake
Profit / loss = 36.3p x £4 per penny stake
Profit / loss = £145.20 profit
Speculating on equities, by spread trading or otherwise, is not always straightforward. In this case, you wanted the share price to increase. Of course, it could go down.
If the United Utilities stock weakened, against your expectations, then you might decide to settle/close your position in order to restrict your losses.
So if the spread pulled back to 686.0p - 687.3p then this means you would sell back your position at 686.0p. If so, this would result in a loss of:
Profit / loss = (Closing Value - Opening Value) x stake
Profit / loss = (686.0p - 725.9p) x £4 per penny stake
Profit / loss = -39.9p x £4 per penny stake
Profit / loss = -£159.60 loss
Note - United Utilities Rolling Daily spread betting market quoted as of 19-Oct-12.
