Online Share Dealing | Share Betting | Spread Betting | IG Index | Dealing Spreads

We offer permanently low spreads across thousands of individual shares.

Dealing spread per side for all major shares:

• 0.1%: daily bets per side
• 0.2%: near quarter bets per side
• 0.4%: far quarter bets per side

Major shares are the constituents of the headline indices of a range of major markets, including the UK, the US, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Australia, Canada and Japan.

Our dealing spread is added to either side of the underlying market spread for the share concerned.

Tighter spreads with MTFs

Our new technology works behind the scenes, exploring a variety of venues, so that we provide our price to you at the narrowest possible market spread. You will notice only one difference: even narrower spreads on shares.

Controlled risk bets

We have classified our UK stocks into three categories, depending on our assessment of the volatility of the stock concerned. The volatility of the share price affects two significant factors, the Controlled Risk premium and the minimum stop distance.

Low volatility - 0.3% premium

Contains FTSE 100 shares, as well as many SETS shares. Minimum stop distance: 5%*

Medium volatility - 0.7% premium

Contains other SETS/SETSmm shares. Minimum stop distance: 7.5%*

High volatility - 1.0% premium

Contains market-maker stocks. Minimum stop distance: 12.5%*

International shares are divided into the same three categories. US stocks are all classified as Low volatility (0.3%), and have a minimum stop distance of 10%*.

These categories will only affect spread sizes for Controlled Risk bets; spread sizes for non-Controlled Risk bets are not affected. For a full explanation of how we determine our dealing spreads for bets on individual shares, please see our Dealing Handbook.

*Minimum Stop distances

The more volatile a share, the greater the minimum stop distance we will insist upon for Controlled Risk bets. The minimum stop distances for each category are listed above, expressed as a percentage of the current share price.
