Popular Markets Spread Betting

Spread betting with Spreadex allows you to speculate on the financial markets - but with many advantages over traditional trading. Whether you are interested in shares, indices, commodities, currencies, bonds or interest rates, financial spread betting gives you great rates of leverage while any profits you make are free from Capital Gains Tax and UK stamp duty*.

Our margin rates are some of the lowest in the industry with spread bet deposits at just 3% for the top UK 350 shares and 20% for all other UK stocks (subject to client status and stock restrictions). So, for example, if Barclays were trading at £3 and you wanted to buy 1,000 shares you would need just £90 credit in your account (1,000 x 3 x 3%).

Spread betting explained

Spread betting works by Spreadex making a prediction of where a certain share or index will close at a given time period. You can 'buy' or go long if you think the outcome will be higher than our price or 'sell' or short if you feel it will be lower. Your spread betting portfolio can be managed in a range of ways including placing opening or closing orders, limits or guaranteed stops.

With Spreadex you also pay no broker fees, can apply for credit and will experience some of the highest standards of service around.

However, tax laws may well change in the future. Tax treatment depends upon the individual circumstances of each client.
