While you can't invest directly in Dettol, you can buy shares in Reckitt Benckiser, its parent company. Reckitt Benckiser is listed on the LSE with stock code "RKT".
It's important to note that Reckitt doesn't just own the brand Dettol, it also owns a host of other household staples including Air Wick, Brasso, Calgon, Cillit Bang, Durex, Finish, Gaviscon, Lemsip, Mr Sheen, Nurofen, Vanish and Veet. That means the movement of Reckitt's share price will be affected by more than just the fortunes of Dettol.
Some of these brands can surge in popularity during an event such as, *ahem*, a global pandemic, but they may also be vulnerable to the rise in popularity of supermarket own-brand products.
Both exchange rates and share prices fluctuate in real time, so the costs estimated here should be considered as a guide only. They don't factor in spreads, which can be hard to pin down. Always refer to the platform itself for availability and pricing.
