A spread bet represents a prediction at a particular instant of where a market will be at a fixed time in the future. The spread is the difference between where you can sell the market (the lower price) or buy it (the higher price).
There are no fees, commissions or stamp duty to pay - the only charge is our spread.
Although profits can be substantial, spread betting is highly speculative and losses can also be considerable. We ask that our customers only trade with money they can afford to lose and stress that as spread betting is a margined product and highly leveraged, your losses can exceed our Initial Margin Requirements.
To help you reduce your risk, MF Global Spreads offers among the most comprehensive and flexible risk management tools available.
In spread betting a transaction is classified as a bet, and therefore all profits are free of any UK taxation*
* Tax laws are subject to change and and depend on individual circumstances.
