How to Spread Bet on WPP

How to Spread Bet on WPP?


If you decide to invest in companies like WPP then one solution could be to spread bet on the WPP share price.

Looking at a financial spread betting website like SelftradeMarkets, you can see that they are currently showing the WPP Rolling Daily market at 840.0p - 841.5p. As a result, an investor can spread bet on the WPP shares:

  WPP Trading Example Rising above 841.5p, or
  WPP Spread Betting Example Falling below 840.0p

Whilst making a spread bet on UK shares you trade in £x per penny. As a result, if you decide to have a stake of £5 per penny and the WPP share price changes by 28p then that would alter your bottom line by £140. £5 per penny x 28p = £140.

Rolling Daily Equities Markets

It's important to note that this is a Rolling Daily Market and so there is no preset closing date for this market. You do not have to close your position, should it still be open at the end of the trading day, it just rolls over to the next trading session.

If a spread bet is rolled over and you are speculating on the market to:

  WPP Spread Betting Example Go up - then you'll normally be charged a small financing fee, or
  WPP Spread Betting Example Go down - then a small payment is often credited 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.


WPP Rolling Daily - Equities Spread Betting Example


Now, if you think about the above spread of 840.0p - 841.5p and make the assumptions:
  • You have done your equities research, and
  • Your research leads you to think that the WPP shares are likely to increase and go higher than 841.5p
Then you could decide that you want to buy a spread bet at 841.5p and invest, let’s say, £5 per penny.

With such a bet you make a profit of £5 for every penny that the WPP shares go above 841.5p. However, such a bet also means that you will lose £5 for every penny that the WPP market goes below 841.5p.

Put another way, should you buy a spread bet then your profits (or losses) are calculated 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 your stake.

Therefore, if after a few sessions the stock started to increase then you might think about closing your spread bet and therefore guarantee your profits. Taking this a step further, if the market rose then the spread could change to 866.7p - 868.2p. You would close your position by selling at 866.7p. As a result, with the same £5 stake you would calculate your profit as:

Profit = (Final Level - Initial Level) x stake
Profit = (866.7p - 841.5p) x £5 per penny stake
Profit = 25.2p x £5 per penny stake
Profit = £126.00 profit

Financial spread betting on shares is not always simple. In the above example, you had bet that the share price would go up. However, the share price could go down.

If the WPP shares began to drop then you might choose to close your trade in order to limit your losses.

If the market fell to 819.9p - 821.4p you would settle your spread bet by selling at 819.9p. If so, this would result in a loss of:

Loss = (Final Level - Initial Level) x stake
Loss = (819.9p - 841.5p) x £5 per penny stake
Loss = -21.6p x £5 per penny stake
Loss = -£108.00 loss

Note: WPP Rolling Daily market correct as of 19-Oct-12.
