Risk Warning: Trading contracts for difference (CFDs), foreign exchange and other over-the-counter derivatives involves a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. Leverage magnifies both profits and losses, and your losses may exceed your initial investment. Trading derivatives does not give you ownership of the underlying assets. Before trading, ensure that you fully understand the risks involved and carefully consider your financial circumstances, investment objectives, trading experience and risk tolerance. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Please carefully read the product disclosure statement, client agreement and risk disclosure documents applicable to you.
