All money deposited by the Client with Smart Markets, received by Smart Markets or its agent on behalf of the Client, or that is, client profits on the Close Out of a Financial Product shall be deposited into one or more accounts nominated by Smart Markets and will be paid into a segregated bank account, which is typically when the Client pays money into the nominated account:
- without agreeing to the terms of a Financial Product by the next Day following actual receipt of the deposit; or
- without Smart Markets issuing the Financial Product immediately; or
- that is less than the price of the Financial Product, and Smart Markets does not issue the Financial Product immediately for the lesser price; or
- in excess of the price of the Financial Product, and the excess amount is not returned to the Client by the next Day.
Such segregation of the Client’s money does not fully protect the Client’s money from the risk of loss.
While the Client’s money is segregated from Smart Markets’s money, it may be co mingled with the money of other Clients and utilised by Smart Markets from time to time where Smart Markets is allowed to do so pursuant to Law.
47. Smart Markets shall be entitled to retain any interest earned on such segregated money held or invested by Smart Markets may use the funds in the client segregated account in accordance with applicable Laws.
48. The Client has no interest in or claim over Smart Markets’s contracts (if any) with any other person or in the accounts into which Smart Markets lodges or pays the funds which were withdrawn from the segregated accounts. The Client acknowledges that the balance of the Client’s account may not be protected if there is a default in the dealings with counterparties or in the overall segregated account balance.
49. Smart Markets enters into arrangements with Third‐Party execution providers for the facilitation of transactions and settlements, and avails monies received for Deposits and settlements which are not client money to such providers for this purpose.
50. When Smart Markets accepts money from a Client in connection with an Order, a Margin Call or a Deposit, the Client immediately receives reciprocal obligations from Smart Markets. The payment is not “client money”, but rather has purchased that reciprocal obligation from Smart Markets.

53. Following month‐end, Smart Markets will produce an electronic version of the Client’s trading statement which will be emailed to the Client and be available on the Smart Markets Trading Platform. This will provide the same details as the daily statements but cover all account movements and transactions opened for the month.
54. The Client is responsible for promptly checking all contents of Confirmations and the Daily and Monthly Statements. The client must immediately notify Smart Markets if there is an error in the Confirmation or the Statements.

64. Where an Order for a Spot CFD is held at the Close of Trade on a Friday, the Swap Charge or Swap Credit is adjusted to reflect the cost of holding the position until the following Monday.
