Costs

What does trading cost?

Costs depend on your account type and the market you trade. Ask our team via live chat for the current spreads and commissions.

Taxes

Do you give tax advice?

No. Tax depends on your personal circumstances and where you are tax resident. Please speak to an independent tax adviser.

Wealth

Who manages my portfolio?

Our in-house portfolio managers make the investment decisions for you, in line with the strategy that matches your risk profile.

Is my capital guaranteed?

No. The value of investments can fall as well as rise, and you may get back less than you invest.

Interest

How is interest calculated?

Interest is calculated on your uninvested cash balance at the variable rate in effect, and paid into your account every month.

Can the interest rate change?

Yes. The rate is variable and can go up or down. Ask our team via live chat for the current rate.

Credit

How much can I borrow?

That depends on the value and type of the investments in your account. Ask our team via live chat for the limit that applies to you.

What happens if the value of my investments falls?

If your borrowing goes above the allowed limit, positions in your account are closed automatically to bring it back within limits. This can lock in losses.

Complaints

How do I make a complaint?

Submit your complaint through the client portal. We'll acknowledge it and keep you updated until it's resolved.

There are risks associated with investing. The value of your investment may fall or rise. Losses of the capital invested may occur. Past performance, simulations or forecasts are not a reliable indicator of future performance. Please refer to our risk information.
