Financial Spreadbetting : TD Waterhouse Investing & Share Dealing

TD Waterhouse is pleased to offer financial spread betting, a alternative to trading on underlying financial instruments such as equities and index markets. It's a simple, versatile tool that can help you to profit from both up and downwards movements in prices.

A financial spread bet is an agreement between a customer and a provider to exchange the difference between the open and closing value of the bet. With financial spread betting, you are simply speculating on the direction of the future price movements in an underlying instrument; you specify an amount you want to bet on each point movement.

Types of account available

There are two types of account available for customers wishing to place a financial spread bet - the Standard Account and the Limited Risk Account.
