Shares

Bet on FTSE shares

We offer prices in all FTSE 100 and FTSE 250 shares, in addition to other liquid UK shares with a market capitalisation of over £10m. Plus thousands of leading US, European, Asian and international shares.

That's over 7000 individual shares, with a choice of Daily and Quarterly prices. And unlike dealing through a stockbroker, with spread betting it is easy to go short of shares if you think the price will fall. You simply 'sell' at our live quote, derived from the market price of the share.

You also benefit from exceptional gearing as you only put up a margin deposit to open your position, from just 5% of the contract value for the leading shares.

Tax-free profits*

As your transaction is a bet, your profits are free of capital gains tax and income tax.

Low costs

There is no commission or stamp duty to worry about. The only charge is our dealing spread.

Small minimum bets

You don't have to make large bets. The minimum deal size for some UK shares is only £1/point (the equivalent of 100 shares).

We quote, you deal!

Deal with instant execution at our live quote.

Limit your risk

You can use our guaranteed risk protection on all UK shares and many others to avoid heavy losses.

*Tax law can change.
