Spread Betting Deposit Changes

June 21st, 2011

Spread Betting Deposit Changes











London (PRWEB) October 5, 2009

From Monday 21 September, IG Index, the world’s leading financial spread betting provider, is adopting an automated deposit system that will reduce deposit requirements for the majority of clients. Deposits will no longer be determined simply by the instrument in question. Under the new system we will account for the size of the position, with smaller positions in the most liquid and least volatile stocks attracting the most competitive rates. Over 650 global equities will be offered on deposit rates from just 5%.

Key facts:


    New methodology offers lower deposits to majority of clients

    Tiered deposit structure addresses liquidity of open positions

    First in industry to offer dynamic deposits

Tim Howkins, Chief Executive, IG Group, said:

“The financial spread betting industry has historically adopted a static approach to deposits but this new policy takes into account how liquid a position of that size is for the stock in question. A small position in a liquid stock is very efficient for us to trade in the underlying market, so this new structure allows us to pass those benefits on to our clients.”

The majority of shares spread betting clients will benefit from the lowest rates, but conversely those looking to deal in larger sizes in the future will be required to provide higher deposit rates, offering increased protection for both the client and company.

Tim Howkins, Chief Executive, IG Group, added:

“At IG Index, we are committed to an ongoing process of product improvement through education, helping clients manage risk, expanding our range of markets and ensuring clients get the very best value for money.”

About IG Index

IG Index is the world’s leading financial spread betting provider, offering clients the ability to spread bet on over 7,000 shares listed on markets worldwide, along with indices, currencies, commodities and treasuries. Established in 1974, IG Index is part of IG Group (IGG.L), which employs in excess of 800 people and has offices in 10 countries worldwide. For further information please call +44 (0) 20 7896 0111.

Financial spread betting is a leveraged product and can result in losses that exceed your initial deposit. Spread betting may not be suitable for everyone, so please ensure that you fully understand the risks involved.

Food Wars: Denmark’s War on Marmite
Wars have always been fought over food, that persistent necessity in life. François Rabelais, in Chapter 25 of his 16th century classic The Life of Gargantua and of Pantagruel ( La vie de Gargantua et de Pantagruel ) attributes the outbreak of one conflict to a disagreement over prices between the cake-bears of Lerné and initially courteous shepherds.

Financial Spread Betting And Its Advantages

June 14th, 2011
financial spread betting
by jpazkual

A provisional action taken in relation to indices shares currencies and commodities such as wheat oil and gold is the entire gamut of financial spread betting. It is only financial spread betting that gives the biggest boon of profits not possible in any other type of trade. This is also a kind of speculative activity similar to the gambling and hence the returns from this are tax free.

Financial spread betting provides other advantages when applied in trading of stocks, indices, foreign currencies and commodities. For one, there are not any dealing costs concerned in the activity as the book maker make commissions from quoted spread which makes a great hit.

The upshot of the financial spread betting is by and large unstable and instant. There is a great extent of flexibility to the traders in the positions that they can take as they are not required to have anything to do with the financial instruments. An open trade requires you to invest the complete amount and this is not the case in here as you can get a position for only a part of the speculation without having worry about the movement of the market.

When there is a paradigm change in the position of long on the costs you have taken you will make a benefit. You will be on a negative financially when you take the long position which has taken a bounce. With the financial spread betting, you can gain immediate access and make position on shifts in prices of different financial markets in US, Europe and Far East.

Before you employ in financial spread betting, it is necessary that you completely know the potential advantages and dangers that are concerned in such extremely speculative monetary activity. Most of the monetary professionals opine that spread betting is a subordinate investment alternative. This denotes that you are just needed to deposit a least percentage of total value of your fiscal position. The proportion of output you will have in a traditional investment option will be much lesser as the you have to shell out the entire amount to take the position. It is required for you to have a cushioning of a minimum of 10% 20% of the total value of capital invested. You have to make certain that you completely recognize the insinuation of whatever position you decide to make.

Am I better to use spread betting to enhance my returns on any stock investments I make rather than………?

June 12th, 2011

Question by William M: Am I better to use spread betting to enhance my returns on any stock investments I make rather than………?
I am 18 years old and I want to start investing into the stock market by applying value investing techniques, i.e. buy low, sell high at the right price. I am looking into investing into stocks which have high growth potential over timescales of 6 months to 2 years. I also happen to know quite a bit about spread betting as well as my knowledge of the financial markets and value investing, and with my practice spread betting account, I am up 400% in the past 4 weeks.

What I would like to know is if it would be better if I should just use spread betting to hedge my portfolio of value investments, and to enhance my returns on the stocks I invest into as well to grow my portfolio even quicker? What would you advise here? What are you suggestions? Please give a good, reasonable answer to earn best best answer. Thanks for all help as it would be very much appreciated.

Best answer:

Answer by OralBobs
Why would you ask anyone on here?

If whatever you are doing has you up 400% in four weeks, keep doing it for another 11 months…

Even if you started with only $ 10, keep that up and you will have over $ 83,000,000 within twelve months…

“Value-investing”? Pah, who needs that?

(I suggest you check your math, LOL!)

This strategy is categorized as a statistical arbitrage and convergence trading strategy. The pair trading was pioneered by Gerry Bamberger and later led by Nunzio Tartaglia’s quantitative group at Morgan Stanley in the 1980s. When the correlation between the two securities temporarily weakens, ie one stock moves up while the other moves down, the pairs trade would be to short the outperforming stock and to long the underperforming one, betting that the ‘spread’ between the two would eventually converge. The divergence within a pair can be caused by temporary supply/demand changes, large buy/sell orders for one security, reaction for important news about one of the companies, and so on. Pairs trading strategy demands good position sizing, market timing, and decision making skill. Although the strategy does not have much downside risk, there is a scarcity of opportunities, and, for profiting, the trader must be …

Where can I find affordable legal advice re debt?

June 9th, 2011

Question by Mark_W: Where can I find affordable legal advice re debt?
I need to speak to a legal expert about credit card debt. I have card debt from another country which runs into tens of thousands spread over nine credit cards and a few thousand on one card in this country. To be honest I no longer know what I owe on each card as I can’t log into online accounts anymore, or have forgotten passwords and don’t even know if collection agencies are now involved, but I am guessing they will be as the last payments were made back in Autumn 2008. In my defence there were reasons for getting into the debt, but I am not for one minute saying that condones it. Anxiety and worry are crippling me and I need to talk to someone and get advice about what I should do (I sure as hell am not ever using a credit card again)!
E.g. I know it would probably take the rest of my life, but I am considering trying to find out how to get someone to pay all of my debt off in one go to all the companies and then work out an affordbale plan to pay it off in manageable monthly installments for the rest of my life, but being in a different country makes things complicated (I would imagine). Is Citizen’s advice Bureau the best bet, or would my bank be an option?

Grateful for any advice you can give me.
