FX margin requirement examples

The table below shows you how current MAS regulations affect the margin required to open positions on FX pairs, and how those requirements differ for Accredited Investors:

Accredited Investor Protections

Prior to opting-in to become an Accredited Investor, it is important that you also understand the risks associated with doing so.

Accredited Investors are assumed to be better informed, and better able to access resources to protect their own interests, and therefore require less regulatory protection. Investors who agree to be treated as Accredited Investors therefore forgo the benefit of certain regulatory safeguards.

For example, issuers of securities are exempted from issuing a full prospectus registered with the Monetary Authority of Singapore in respect of offers that are made only to Accredited Investors, and intermediaries are exempt from a number of business conduct requirements when dealing with Accredited Investors.

Investors should consult a professional adviser if they do not understand any consequence of being treated as an Accredited Investor.
