FCA regulated Retail FX brokerage group Hantec Markets has expanded its product offering in the UK, with the company today announcing the addition of Spread Betting.
Clients can now open a Spread Betting account which gives them access to bet on 50+ financial instruments covering currencies, bullion, commodities and indices. Hantec Markets will now be offering Spread Betting demo and live accounts, using the MT4 platform.
Spread Betting is very popular in the UK and Ireland, where there is no capital gains tax or stamp duty on betting. Spread betting offers all the same advantages associated with FX and CFD trading including:
- High flexibility. As it is possible to enter a position by either buying or selling, there are more opportunities to trade regardless of market direction.
- 24 hour market. Trade the market 24 hour a day 5 days a week, which means clients can trade whenever suits them.
- No Commission. There are no commission charges when spread betting.
- Leverage. Trading on margins means a relatively small deposit gives the client control over a higher trade value.
