    • Please note that trading in contracts for difference/spread bets/fx carries a high degree of risk. Each applicant must read the below and indicate in the box below and answer to confirm their understanding of these products.

      CFD's FX and Spread bets are an alternative way to trade the financial markets, and hold some significant advantages compared to traditional share trading. However, they are leveraged products and applicants for such accounts are advised to understand the nature and risks involved in margin trading. With leveraged products you are only required to deposit a percentage of the full value of the transaction (“margin”). Trading in such products can be volatile and a small change to the price of the underlying asset may result in a disproportionately large profit or loss. You can incur losses significantly greater than the amount (“margin”) you initially deposited to open a transactionand should this occur you are required to cover the losses. If you open a long position (you expect the price of the underlying asset to rise) you will incur a loss if the price falls. If you open a short position (you expect the price of the underlying asset to fall) you will incur a loss if the price rises.

    • Advisory Service - Your responsibilities 
    • IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU READ AND CONFIRM THAT YOU UNDERSTAND THE BELOW

    • 1. YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO SAY NO
      It is your trading account and you are in control. If you are unsure of any advice provided by your investment advisor, then you must NOT proceed with the transaction. If you do accept and agree to any recommendations made, then you automatically accept the risks of that trade. It is imperative that you are happy with the investments being recommended to you, including their level of risk, the transaction size and the frequency with which trades are being conducted on your account. If you decide that you are unhappy with any of the above or your personal circumstances change, please notify your Investment Advisor immediately and ask to speak to the compliance officer.

      2. YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO CHECK YOUR TRADES
      For all trades executed you will receive a contract note. You can also view the details of all your transactions via your online portfolio. It is your responsibility to ensure that these details are correct. If you do identify an error,then you must notify your investment advisor immediately. At any time, we will be able to send you, on request, an up to date account valuation or statement of your account at no charge, but we would advise that you check your account at least once a day to review trades executed, valuation of open positions, margin usage and general portfolio composition. It is your responsibility to monitor and address any issues that you might find immediately.

      3. SUITABILITY
      Whilst we will always endeavourto ensure that the recommendations made to you are suitable, our advice is only as good as the information that you have provided to us. In order to ensure the correct level of advice, it is important that you alwaysnotify us if either your 1) risk appetite 2) investment objectives or 3) financial circumstances change. It is also important to notify us if your health deteriorates. If you are unsure you should seek professional financial or medical advice before proceeding.
