 With Finspreads you can trade on
the price movement of a wide range of global indices from UK, US,
European and Asian markets.
We offer trading in the Wall Street
index, the US SP 500 index and the US
TECH 100 index in the US. In Europe we offer access
to the France 40 index, Germany 30 index,
and UK 100 index. Other indices available through
Finspreads include the Australia 200, Hong Kong 40 and
the Japan 225.
Spreads bets on indices are some of our most
popular trades for a number of reasons:
- You can trade on a group of shares as easily
as an individual share
- Trading indices is an easy way to take out an
approximate hedge against a share or fund portfolio
- Many index prices are quoted 24 hours a day
which means that you can trade them even when the underlying
markets are closed (see Market
Infomation Sheets for details)
- Trading indices lets you take a view on
global markets without needing to take a view on individual
shares

bet on our index markets
Please remember spread betting is leveraged
and can result in losses quickly exceeding an initial outlay. It’s
not suitable for everyone and you should make sure you fully
understand the risks involved. If you have any doubt, please seek
independent advice.
