Futures Transactions in futures involve the obligation to make, or to take, delivery of the underlying asset of the contract at a future date, or in some cases to settle the Investment Adviser’s position with cash from a Portfolio or elsewhere. Transactions in futures carry a high degree of risk. The “gearing” or “leverage” often obtainable in futures trading means that a small deposit or down payment can lead to large losses as well as gains. It also means that a relatively small market movement can lead to a proportionately much larger movement in the value of the Investment Adviser’s investment, and this can work against the Investment Adviser as well as for the Investment Adviser. Futures transactions have a contingent liability, and the Investment Adviser should be aware of the implications of this, in particular the margining requirements, which are described in paragraph 7.2 below.
Margin Trading 6.1. CFDs are margin products and the transactions related to them will be done on Margin. This means that the Client must supply a specified initial Margin, on agreement, of the overall Contract value.
Commodities Commodity based investments, whether made by investing directly in physical commodities, for example gold, or by investing in companies whose business is substantially concerned with commodities or through commodity linked products, may be impacted by a variety of political, economic, environmental and seasonal factors. These relate to real world issues that impact either on demand or on the available supply of the commodity in question. Other factors that can materially affect the price of commodities include regulatory changes, and movement in interest rates and exchange rates. Their value can fall as well as rise, and in some cases an investment in commodity linked products might result in the delivery of the underlying.

Default: Any occurrence that is, or with notice or the lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default.
Risk of Margin Trading The risk of loss in financing a transaction by deposit of collateral is significant. You may sustain losses in excess of your cash and any other assets deposited as collateral with the licensed or registered person. Market conditions may make it impossible to execute contingent orders, such as "stop-loss" or "stop-limit" orders. You may be called upon at short notice to make additional margin deposits or interest payments. If the required margin deposits or interest payments are not made within the prescribed time, your collateral may be liquidated without your consent. Moreover, you will remain liable for any resulting deficit in your account and interest charged on your account. You should therefore carefully consider whether such a financing arrangement is suitable in light of your own financial position and investment objectives.
Currency Translation Rule For purposes of determining the balance or value of accounts denominated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar, a Reporting Financial Institution must convert the dollar threshold amounts described in this Annex I into such currency using a published spot rate determined as of the last day of the calendar year preceding the year in which the Reporting Financial Institution is determining the balance or value.
Shift Trading 16 Shift trading within Departments defined as trading 17 time, hour, for hour, shall be allowed provided that:
Foreign Currency Transactions If the Depositor provides instructions to the Financial Institution on an Account that is denominated in a currency other than the currency of the Account, a conversion of currency may be required. In all such Transactions and at any time a conversion of currency is made, the Financial Institution may act as principal with the Depositor in converting the currency at rates established or determined by the Financial Institution, affiliated parties, or parties with whom the Financial Institution contracts. The Financial Institution, its affiliates, and contractors may earn revenue and commissions, in addition to applicable service charges, based on the difference between the applicable bid and ask rates for the currency and the rate at which the rate is offset in the market.
