- What is GO Professional?
-
GO Professional describes the account status offered by GO Markets for Wholesale clients.
- What is the difference between trading as a Retail client and a Wholesale client?
-
Retail clients are afforded additional investor protections compared with Wholesale clients.
Wholesale clients enjoy greater freedom to apply their trading strategies including higher leverage. - Will the level of client money protection change for a Wholesale client?
-
We’ll continue to segregate money and assets in the same way we do with a Retail client.
But we may, to the extent permitted by Part 7.8 of Division 2 of the Corporations Act, use Wholesale
client money for hedging, counteracting, or offsetting the risk we incur associated with transactions we enter with the Wholesale client.You can consider our Wholesale Clients CFDs Trading Information Statement and CFDs Trading Terms and Conditions.
- Do I need to open an account before I can opt-in/request an upgrade to Wholesale client status?
-
Yes. Clients new to GO Markets will need to first open a retail account before opting
in/requesting for an upgrade to Wholesale client status. - Can I opt-out of Wholesale client status?
-
Yes, you can choose to opt-out from Wholesale client status and return to retail client status at
any time by contacting our Client Services team in writing. - What are the tax implications of switching to Wholesale client status?
-
There is no change in the tax status of the products we provide to clients under Wholesale
client status. - What if I am not eligible for Wholesale client status?
-
You can still trade as a retail client, with access to the same platform and superior
customer service GO Markets takes pride in.
