Why Spread Trade with Spread Co?

• Competitive Prices. Spread Co provides you with a way of trading global markets from a single online trading account. Spread Co provides you with an efficient and cost effective way to Spread Trade.
• Fast Execution and Access to world markets and wide selection of financial instruments. Spread Co prides you fast execution times. When you execute a trade on our online system, your trades should be executed almost instantly. You can trade a wide range of equities, currencies, bullion, commodities and indices with us, all in real time.
• Instant execution of trades. Your trades with us will be confirmed almost as soon as you press the buy / sell button on our trading system (provided that your order or trade volume is inside the permitted sizes and that the instrument is priced correctly.) You should only have to wait a few seconds at most for your prices to be confirmed, unless there are unusual market circumstances.
• Leverage. Spread Trading, CFDs or FX is traded on margin. This means you can spread your capital more efficiently over a larger portfolio. These margins are referred to in Spread Trading as the ‘Notional Trading Requirement’ or ‘NTR’.
• Transparent prices. Spot Spread Trading prices reflect the prices of their underlying instruments very closely, which means that it is easy to see the price that you are trading at. This is in contrast to warrants, futures and options prices which don’t mimic the prices of the underlying instrument, may have leverage which is difficult to predict and may also include forward interest.
• Extended hours for you to trade. Spread Co gives you longer trading hours on many Spread Trades, which means you have more opportunity to trade. You can trade many underlying instruments at any time between 10pm on Sunday evening (London Time) and 10pm on Friday evening (London Time) 24 hours a day.
• Opportunity to go short as well as long. Spread Trading gives you way of going short on any instrument, in addition to going long. Going short means selling a Spread Trade on an instrument that you do not own, in order to buy this back at a later date, in the expectation that the price will have fallen between the date that you sell and the date that you buy. In contrast, going long means buying a Spread Trade on an instrument, in order to sell this at a later date, in the expectation that the price will have risen between the date that you buy and the date that you sell.
• Potential interest on short positions. When you go short, and sell a financial instrument, you are treated as a lender of the asset. If you hold this short position open overnight, the borrower of the asset (i.e. us) may pay you interest. The amount of interest that you may receive depends on the underlying currency interest rates.
• No physical settlement. Physical settlement of Spread Trading is never needed. Spread Trades are always just settled in cash. For example, you will never have to buy physical shares or deliver physical gold to settle your Spread Trade. This contrasts with many warrants, futures and options, which must be physically settled.

Only for UK residents:

Tax Free Profits*

There is no income tax or capital gains tax for you to pay on any profits you make if you Spread Trade in the UK and are a UK resident, because your profits are classed as the winnings of a "bet". This is different to profits from CFD trading, on which Capital Gains Tax is payable for UK residents.

No stamp duty on Individual Share transactions*

There is no stamp duty for you to pay if you Spread Trade on individual shares in the UK. This means that Spread Trading may be a cheaper way for you to get exposed to equities than trading physical shares.

*Please note UK tax law can, of course, be changed.
