relationship and that will affect the way you trade. It is
important you take the time to read through this email to see how
these changes will influence your trading. To make it easier and
clearer we have attached the revised PDS and client agreement for

Transparent risk management tools with City Index
Our new risk and margin management feature, Margin Close Out
goes live on 13th April. This new feature puts you in control of
your account and margin levels and provides you with transparency
to see where they are at any time, easily and all directly from the
trading platform. You can monitor your own margin level using the
new Margin Level Indicator found in the left hand corner of the
trading platform. This feature replaces the previous City Index
managed margin calls, warnings or alerts.
Please Note: If your Margin Level (the ratio of Net Equity to
Total Margin) drops below the Margin Close Out Level we may close
all or any of your open positions immediately and without notice.
It is your responsibility to monitor your Margin Level.
Your Margin Close Out Level is currently 80%
Get more from your trading with our new lower
margins
From 13th April you will be able to trade FX & indices CFDs
with margin requirement from only 0.5% and 5% on share CFDs.
Many of our top instruments will also have their margins
reduced. You will be able to find more information on the new rates
on the ITP.
Our Orders Aware Margining feature, which
offers the potential to reduce your margin requirement for many
instruments, is also changing so the amount required to open
certain positions will be lower.
Important: Existing Positions on 13th April
We think you will benefit from the new terms and features we are
introducing, but if you have existing open positions on
13th April, the new terms, change in margin rates and the Margin
Close Out features will not apply to you unless you agree to
them. You can do this in a number of ways:
- Place a new trade with us after 7am Sydney time on 13 April. By
doing so you will be accepting that the new terms, margin rates and
the Margin Close Out will apply to your account, including
your existing positions and any new positions.
