The purpose for so holding funds is to ensure that in the event of our insolvency, or if a financial claim is made against us, no creditor or claimant should be able to claim funds held in these accounts. This is because no other person or institution may have any rights or interest over the funds held in these accounts such as a lien over funds in these accounts.

Relevant Funds do not include funds received from or to you or on your behalf in settlement of a Contract. When you transfer funds to us to pay Margin Call(s) full ownership and title to these funds transfers to us absolutely and such funds are considered as our funds. They will not be Relevant Funds and so they will placed into our business bank account and will not be afforded protection under the segregation rules of the Regulations.
