Things to know

If you qualify, we’ll continue to fully segregate your money and assets in the same way as before – in accordance with the client money provisions of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). However, you won’t be entitled to the following protections under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth):
You won’t benefit from the protections afforded under ASIC’s product intervention measures for CFDs, including leverage restrictions and negative balance protection1
You won’t be given a Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) or Financial Services Guide (FSG)
The applicable Future of Financial Advice (FoFa) requirements relating to conflicted remuneration will not apply to you2
Our external dispute resolution scheme, the Australian Financial Complaints Authority, has discretion to exclude complaints from wholesale clients
