Clients resident in Europe and classified as Retail clients are generally not permitted to buy most U.S.-listed ETFs. This is due to European PRIIPs regulations, which require certain investment products to provide a Key Information Document, or KID, before they can be offered to retail investors in the European Economic Area. Most U.S.-listed ETFs do not provide the required KID, so they cannot generally be made available to European retail clients. European clients classified as Professional clients may be eligible to trade U.S.-listed ETFs, subject to applicable regulatory requirements, product availability and trading permissions.

If a corporate action allows clients to choose between receiving a cash dividend or a stock dividend, the election will normally be available through the Client Portal. Clients can log in to the Client Portal, go to Help > Message Center, and select Corporate Actions to review any available election messages. If an election is available, clients can open the relevant message and submit their choice before the applicable deadline. To track dividends, clients can generate an activity statement or custom report from the Reports section of the Client Portal. Dividend information may appear in sections such as Dividend Accruals, Open Dividend Accruals, Cash Report or Activity Summary, depending on the report type and status of the dividend. Corporate action elections are subject to issuer terms, market deadlines, account eligibility and availability in the Client Portal.

MEXEM may reduce the collateral value, or marginability, of certain securities for various reasons. These may include small issue size, low market capitalization, limited liquidity, high volatility, corporate actions, tender offers or other risk factors. A static list of all securities with special margin requirements may not be available, as margin requirements can change based on market conditions and internal risk controls. To check whether a specific stock has a special margin requirement, clients can use the Check Margin Impact or Order Preview function in the trading platform before submitting an order. This will show the estimated margin impact for the specific stock, order size and account.

The standard settlement period for most currency pairs is two business days after the trade date, known as T+2. Some currency pairs settle earlier. For example, USD.CAD generally settles one business day after the trade date, known as T+1. For a Forex transaction to settle, the relevant settlement systems for both currencies must be open. If either currency has a settlement holiday on the target settlement date, settlement is usually deferred to the next valid business day for both currencies. Intervening holidays between the trade date and the normal settlement date may also affect settlement, depending on the currencies involved.

IPO stands for Initial Public Offering. It is the process through which a company offers its shares to the public for the first time. Before an IPO, the company is usually privately held. If the IPO is completed successfully, the company’s shares may become publicly traded on the relevant listing exchange. Shares issued by the company represent an ownership interest in the company. An IPO is one of the ways a private company can raise capital from public investors.
IPO availability, participation requirements and trading access may vary depending on the offering, market, client eligibility and applicable regulations.
