Questions about trading?
When I spread bet, am I entitled to any ownership of the underlying asset?
When you trade on the price of a financial instrument, you do not actually own the underlying asset. However, you are entitled to some of the benefits, such as dividends, rights issues etc, as if you were an owner of the underlying asset. The main difference is that you will not receive any voting rights on individual equities.
