Things to know
If you qualify for a Pro account you’ll be treated and classified as a wholesale client. This means that you won’t be treated the same as a retail client, who would be afforded additional investor protections.
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 protection
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 you1
Our external dispute resolution scheme, the Australian Financial Complaints Authority, has discretion to exclude complaints from wholesale clients
Please consider our Pro Guide and Wholesale Disclosure Notice before applying.
