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 Capital Gains Tax and 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.
