Purpose of This Notice
This notice is provided to you in light of your intention to engage in transactions with GTC GLOBAL TRADE CAPITAL CO. LIMITED involving Foreign Exchange Contracts, Contracts for Difference, deposits and payments products, and other Derivatives Contracts.
These transactions may be conducted either on a margin basis or otherwise.
This document does not disclose or explain all of the risks and other significant aspects involved in such transactions.
It is intended to provide a general description of the nature of the risks inherent in these transactions and to assist you in making informed investment decisions.
Suitability Warning
Trading leveraged products is not suitable for every investor. You should assess your objectives, financial situation, experience, and risk tolerance before trading.
Prior to applying for an account, you should carefully consider whether trading in these transactions is suitable for you in light of your personal circumstances and financial situation.
Margin FX and CFDs involve different levels of exposure to risk.
You should ensure that you understand the risks before deciding whether to trade in such instruments.
Key Risks of Margin FX and CFDs
Trading in Margin FX and CFDs carries a high degree of risk.
The gearing or leverage involved means that a small initial margin payment can potentially lead to large losses above your initial investment.
The geared nature of derivatives means Margin FX and CFDs may carry greater risks than conventional share trading, which is generally not geared.
A relatively small market movement can lead to a proportionately much larger movement in the value of your investment, and this can work against you as well as for you.
You may sustain a total loss of the margin that you deposit with us to establish or maintain a position.
If the market moves against you, you may be required to pay substantial additional margin at short notice.
If you fail to do so within the required time, your position may be liquidated at a loss, and you will remain liable for any resulting deficit.
You shall be deemed to have received any notice requiring payment of such funds if the notice is delivered to your nominated contact points.
Even where a Margin FX or CFD is not margined, it may still carry an obligation to make further payments in certain circumstances beyond the amount initially paid.
Market, Execution and Liquidity Risks
Most OTC derivatives are off-exchange derivatives.
Engaging in such transactions may involve greater risk than on-exchange derivatives due to the absence of an exchange market for closing out open positions.
You are generally limited to opening and closing positions exclusively with us.
You are therefore exposed to the unlikely event that we may not be able to fulfill our obligations to you as a counterparty.
Under certain trading conditions it may be difficult or impossible to liquidate a position.
This may occur during periods of rapid price movement or where trading in the underlying market is suspended or restricted.
Placing a Stop Order will not necessarily limit your losses to the intended amount, because market conditions may make it impossible to execute such an order if the underlying market moves directly through the specified price.
Foreign Market and Currency Risks
Foreign markets involve risks that may differ from domestic markets.
The potential for profit or loss from OTC derivatives relating to a foreign market or denominated in a foreign currency may be affected by fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.
You may incur a loss if exchange rates move against you, even where the price of the underlying instrument remains unchanged.
Advice, Clearing and No Guarantee
We do not provide personal financial product advice relating to Margin FX and CFDs.
We do not make Margin FX and CFD recommendations of any kind.
The only guidance we provide is general information about how Margin FX and CFDs work.
We are under no obligation to provide consultation beyond that.
There is no clearing house for Margin FX and CFDs.
The performance of a Margin FX or CFD by GTC GLOBAL TRADE CAPITAL CO. LIMITED is not guaranteed by an exchange or clearing house.
Insolvency, Segregated Funds and Credit Risk
Our insolvency or default may result in your positions being liquidated or closed out without your consent.
Deposits lodged with us are held in segregated client account or accounts and may attract legal protections under applicable laws.
Net unrealised running profits are also held in trust by us in excess of contractual and regulatory requirements and would normally be similarly protected for your benefit as beneficial owner.
If a Court were not to uphold the trust in relation to net unrealised profits, you would rank as an unsecured creditor in relation to such profits.
Keeping your funds in a segregated client account does not offer or guarantee absolute protection of your funds in the event of our insolvency or default where there is a deficit in the segregated client account.
The obligations owed to you under the Client Agreement and Margin FX and CFD transactions are unsecured obligations.
This means that you are an unsecured creditor of ours.
Although by dealing with us you will not be dealing in securities, you may still be subject to applicable laws.
Review the risks carefully before trading
Before opening an account or entering into any transaction, you should review this statement together with the Client Agreement and all relevant legal and production documents, and seek independent advice where appropriate.
