REYMOUNT, A more direct approach
Reymount Investment Limited, offers its clients a fast and
efficient service in Foreign Exchange, EFP and Bullion,
as an independent market maker and broker, through its 24
hour dealing desk, via the telephone or Internet. Corporate
customers, medium sized banks, investment managers and individuals
who wish to participate in the Foreign Exchange market normally
do so through their banks and are usually referred to a sales
desk. As the customer is not in direct contact with the bank's
dealers, prices quoted are usually not so competitive and
vital time is likely to be lost in execution.
Reymount was founded to overcome these problems.
As an independent market maker and broker, it provides direct
access to experienced dealers. Clients therefore, can obtain
competitive prices and execute deals quickly.
Trading with Reymount through "NetTrader"
Foreign Exchange is the simultaneous exchange
of one currency for another between two parties at an agreed
rate. Settlement can be immediate (spot), in the future (forward)
or deferred (on a daily basis). Because settlement can be
deferred, it is possible to sell a currency you do not already
own in exchange for a currency you do not particularly need
or want, (i.e. to gain from an exchange rate appreciation).
Reymount Investment Limited is a principal
to its Clients in the Foreign Exchange markets. If you want
to transact a foreign exchange deal with ourselves and defer
settlement, you must first open an account and deposit with
us a margin (cash deposit or bank guarantee) to cover any
exchange rate losses that may occur when you finally settle
or close out the deal. This margin is also used to collateralise
the position prior to close out or settlement. Deals can be
for cash or deferred settlement. Deferred deals are rolled
over on a daily basis at competitive swap prices.
Reymount is a principal to its Clients, there
is minimal commission or transaction fees under the Net Trader
online dealing service.
MARGINS Our margin requirements
vary according to the size of the transaction and the currencies
you will be trading. The minimum amount of margin we accept
in order to open an account is USD 10,000 or equivalent currency.
It is important to understand that the margin
requirement must be maintained by the Client when carrying
open positions. It is the Client's responsibility to ensure
his account is sufficiently margined at all times, especially
during volatile trading periods.
Clients can only trade based on cleared funds
in their account, not on promised funds or funds in transit.
Margin calls are usually made when the equity in the account
falls below the margin requirement of the position(s) at that
time. However, margin calls can be made at any time, especially
during volatile market conditions, and arrangements must be
made by Clients should they be travelling or cannot be contacted
by Reymount.
If the equity in the account falls below
the margin requirement of the clients open position(s) then
Reymount may liquidate the client's open positions. Please
refer to our Trading Agreement which address the non payment
of margin call and change in margin requirements.
TRADING EQUITY Client balances
including open positions are valued constantly throughout
the day against the US Dollar and at close of business using
the London closing rates. All Client account balances are
valued in US Dollars to determine the Clients' net worth (equity)
and to assess margin call requirements and dealing capacity.
Clients can obtain their updated equity any time of day through our on-line back office system, via the Internet or from our website.
BACK OFFICE After every deal,
you will be sent a confirmation. The confirmation will have
details of the deal and rollover transaction, including value
date, rate, amounts bought and sold and deal reference number.
Check the details on the confirmation carefully.
By default the online statement will contains details listing about all your transactions that you had undertaken for the period. Contained in this statement will be:
- A summary of your financial position. This will list
all your currency balances and will show the Dollar equivalent
calculated at the close of business.
Further, in the financial summary, there may well be open forward
currency balances. These represent deals that mature after the
statement date. These are not necessarily forward deals, they
can be spot deals transacted on the last business day of the
statement month for value two days forward into the next calendar
month.
- A statement detailing your ledger activity for each currency.
This will list every transaction by currency and value date
for transactions passed over your account during the month.
- If it is applicable, an open forward position report.
This will list all transactions that mature after the statement
date. The outstanding amounts will be valued in US Dollars
(for accounting purposes only) to value any outstanding
forward profit/loss at month end rates and will be featured
in the financial summary.
INTEREST There are two ways
a Client accrues interest on his account:
- Open trade positions accrue interest through the rollover
markets at the close of business each day. For example,
say a Client bought Sterling and sold US Dollars. The Client
would be due credit interest on his Sterling account and
due to pay debit interest on his Dollar account.
The open trade would be rolled forward in the round amount of
currency the Client generated the deal in.
- Clients net currency balances including excess funds,
trading profits/losses and previous rollover gains/losses,
accrue interest in their particular currency at the daily
call rate, providing the Client's net equity is in excess
of US $10,000. At the end of each month, all interest due
is converted into US Dollars and credited to the Client's
US Dollar account. Interest can be paid to Clients in other
currencies, upon request. When a Client opens a position
the margin required is utilised and, therefore, it does
not accrue interest.
