Examples

Examples

EQUITIES: UK Shares

LONG £10 Rolling Daily Bet – Halifax Bank Of Scotland (HBOS)

Bet unit risk1
Applicable interest rate 7.5%    (5.5% + 2%)
Closing price1084.4p

A £10 long bet on HBOS which has a closing price of 1084.4p would be equal to a £10,844 market exposure (your market exposure equates your bet to the number of shares you would have to buy from your stock broker to create the same risk and return; a £10 bet = 1000 shares).

(1084.4 / 1) x 10 x 7.5% = £ 813.30

This is the annual cost of borrowing £ 10,844 at 7.5%.

Divide this by 365 to reach the daily charge:

£ 813.30
365
 = £ 2.23

As you are long of an equity, your account would be charged this amount for the overnight financing.

[ (0.6796 / 0.0001) x 5 x -0.25% ]
365
 = € -0.23

Your account would be charged €0.23 as overnight financing.

Normally, for a short position, you would receive the overnight financing rate. However this calculation has returned a negative number so in this case instead of you receiving the money you will be paying it.
