Hi @matt_sb_101, Thank you for your post. Please note that a forward price is available to allow clients to take a longer-term view of the price of a stock. We offer this in quarterly contracts: the near, far and very far quarters until they reach expiry. We use the underlying price for shares and adjust them to create a synthetic forward price. To create these synthetic prices we simply apply interest to the current share price for the difference between today and the expiry date of a market. The interest rate we use is SONIA (or SONIA equivalent) + 0.5% admin fee (annual). We then wrap a wider dealing spread around this price. Our spreads are available on the website: Spread Bet Shares All the best, KoketsoIG
