Many thanks for the information Ray. I will check wth IB in the UK and see what they say.  I have spent much of today researching spread betting after isplat's post, and that may well be the answer moving forwards. It does offer a few advantages over buying XIV directly (no tax, longer trading hours) so I am using my broker's Demo Spread Betting platform to learn before "going live" !!
