City Index Limited Risk Account key features

A Limited Risk Account requires you to have sufficient funds deposited in your account to cover the maximum possible loss before you are able to trade. This is managed by placing a guaranteed stop loss (for which you will be charged a premium) - you choose where you want your trade to be closed should the market move against you. We guarantee that your bet will be closed at exactly this price, even if the market gaps the chosen level.

  • Access to larger capitalisation UK, US and EU shares only plus major global indices.
  • Smaller maximum bet sizes than standard deposit account.
  • Your liability is restricted to what you deposit into the account.
  • All bets will automatically be opened with a guaranteed stop loss order set at the City Index minimum stop loss distance.
  • Each opening bet incurs a small fee (GSL premium) for the protection City Index provide in guaranteeing the execution price of the stop loss order if applicable. The potential loss of any bet is therefore known and capped at the outset.
  • Free from UK Stamp Duty for the vast majority of individuals, however tax laws can change.

The level of an existing Guaranteed Stop Loss Order can be amended if:

  • There are sufficient funds in your account to meet the maximum potential loss.
  • The new level does not infringe the City Index minimum stop distance.
