// TRADING TERMINOLOGY
What is Spread Betting?
A tax-efficient way of speculating on the price movement of various types of financial instruments.
In-Depth Explanation
In the UK, spread betting is popular because it is exempt from Capital Gains Tax and Stamp Duty. You "bet" a certain amount per point of movement in the price of an asset.
Practical Example
"A trader bets £5 per point on the FTSE 100 rising."
