Financial Spread Betting
Is Share Dealing Dead???
I was writing a review on investment options available in the UK for retail investors and it seams to me that share dealing is dead for retail investors as it’s quite expensive (stamp duty, tax, commission) and there’re many other options like financial spread betting and contracts for difference available now. I ran through http://www.independentinvestor.co.uk (they claim and actually compare lots of spread betting and cfds accounts) and realised that there were so many spread betting and CFDs companies now and competition between them is fierce. When I checked stockbrokers their websites looked a bit old and out of style.
So is it true that share dealing gets overtaken by other cheaper and more efficient investment options?
There are many budget share dealing services that can reduce the costs of share dealing. The costs of share dealing may seem a lot, but not compared to the potential returns.
For most people the ISA allowance of £7200 is much more than they would want to invest in a year. This can deal with the tax implications. You can get ISAs that allow you to deal in shares, or you can buy funds where shares are bought on your behalf. One of the cheapest fund is the tracker, as it takes little effort for the administrators. I have often seen it claimed that few investors or fund managers manage to beat the market as a whole, so for the small investor these funds seem a good buy.
I know little about spread betting, but it has a bit of a dodgy reputation.
