Sectors Bet Details

Sectors bet details

We offer sector bets on 35 key FTSE 350 industries.

1. Sectors bets can be made in two ways: as a Daily Funded Bet (DFB) or as a futures bet (Quarterly bet). The expiry months for Quarterly bets rotate on a March, June, September, December cycle. Prices are quoted for the current and next quarter month.

2. Our quotes an ‘all-in’ spread for sectors, which includes both our spread and market spread. The spread is usually calculated as a percentage of the current sector price as follows:

DFB: 0.2% of sector price
Near quarter: 0.6% of sector price
Far quarter: 0.7% of sector price

3. For controlled risk bets, a controlled risk premium of 0.3% is charged on the opening.

4. The margin factor will normally be 5% of the price of the sector in question. Thus a sector priced at 2000 will normally incur a margin 100 times the bet size.

5. The minimum bet size for sectors is £0.50 per point (for online dealing).

6. Dealing hours: Monday–Friday, 08.15–16.30.

7. The last dealing day for Quarterly bets will be the Tuesday before the third Wednesday of the contract month.
