Notice : US Presidential Election

03 Nov 2016

With the upcoming US Presidential Election, we anticipate higher uncertainties in the global financial markets. The US Presidential Election is to be held on Tuesday, 8th November 2016. Immediately before and after the election the global financial markets will likely experience higher volatility with ​wider spreads and periods of reduced liquidity.

For those who intend to keep their positions open during the election period, please ensure you have sufficient margin requirements either by adding funds or reducing positions by Monday, 7th November 2016.

To protect the best interest of our clients we would like to inform you that we may increase the required margin of all clients' live account(s) prior to the US Presidential Election. Details of the margin rate changes and timings will be communicated next week and these temporary risk parameters may persist over the weekend depending on the market reactions to the election result.

If you have any further questions or concerns, please let us know.

Best Regards,
Land Prime Account Team.
