What is a spread and how is it put together for neon invest?
A spread is the difference between the bid and the ask price of a security. This difference can be influenced by factors such as liquidity, trading volume, or volatility of the security. Depending on the liquidity of a security, the spread may also include a risk premium. This is the case, for example, with US securities in the morning, as the US stock exchanges do not open until the afternoon of our time and thus liquidity is accordingly lower.
To see the spread of a security, you can search for the name or ISIN of the security on the BX Swiss homepage using the red search bar at the top of the page.
