Controlled risk bets
We have classified our UK stocks into three categories, depending on our assessment of the volatility of the stock concerned. The volatility of the share price affects two significant factors, the controlled risk premium and the minimum stop distance.
Low volatility - 0.3% premium
Contains FTSE 100 shares, as well as many SETS shares. Minimum stop distance: 5%*
Medium volatility - 0.7% premium
Contains other SETS/SETSmm shares. Minimum stop distance: 7.5%*
High volatility - 1.0% premium
Contains small-cap stocks. Minimum stop distance: 12.5%*
International shares are divided into the same three categories. US stocks are all classified as low volatility (0.3%), and have a minimum stop distance of 10%*.
These categories will only affect spread sizes for controlled risk bets; spread sizes for non-controlled risk bets are not affected. For a full explanation of how we determine our dealing spreads for bets on individual shares, please see our Bet Details.
*Minimum stop distances
The more volatile a share, the greater the minimum stop distance we will insist upon for controlled risk bets. The minimum stop distances for each category are listed above, expressed as a percentage of the current share price.
