1. How to Spread Bet on Friends Provident shares?
The current spread betting price of the Friends Provident (December) market is 83.0p - 83.7p with Financial Spreads.
As with the majority of leading equities listed on the exchanges, investors can place a spread bet on the future price of Friends Provident shares to rise or fall in value. With the Friends Provident (December) market, which closes on 15-Dec-09, an investor can speculate on:
a) Friends Provident shares to close above 83.7p on the settlement date, or
b) Friends Provident shares to close below 83.0p on the settlement date.
It should be noted that with the Friends Provident market you trade in £X per penny, where a penny is 1p of Friends Provident share movement. As a quick example, if you invested £20 per penny and the Friends Provident stock moves 8p then that would be a difference to your profits/losses of £160.
Friends Provident Shares Spread Betting Example
As an example, let’s say you see the live price on a spread trading website that shows the spread of 83.0p - 83.7p. So, after your research, you could come to feel that the Friends Provident share price will go up and close higher than 83.7p. This would mean:
- You believe that the Friends Provident shares should increase
- Therefore, you choose to ‘buy’ the market at 83.7p and risk £10 per penny
- The share price increases and so you decide to allow your bet to run to the expiry date of 15-Dec-09
- The shares settle at 90.0p
- You bought the market at 83.7p
- P&L = (Final Price - Initial Price) x stake
- P&L = (90.0p - 83.7p) x £10 per penny
- P&L = 6.3p x £10 per penny
- P&L = £63.00 profit
Investments don’t always go to plan. If the trade did not move as forecast, and had the Friends Provident stock decreased in value, settling at a lower than expected level of 75.0p, then you would have lost on this spread bet.
- Initial buy price: 83.7p
- P&L = (Final Price - Initial Price) x stake
- P&L = (75.0p - 83.7p) x £10 per penny
- P&L = -8.7p x £10 per penny
- P&L = -£87.00 loss
