The funds remain in the client account at all times. Funds remain protected as segregated bank account and ONLY available for the Asset Manager to manage during trading hours.

Methodology of Investment, how is this to be managed, on a day to day basis?

All trading activity is carried out and settled mainly within the same business day.  The model only looks to trade when the right conditions are met.

Note: We do not attempt to let any position run overnight.  All trades are settled, anticipated end of the day.


Will the same people be involved, as per the past performance figures achieved?

What opportunities are currently foreseen?

Formaltrade Asset Management remains independent of any (previously noted) market conditions. Our model is based on ALL price movements of one currency pair. Our model selectively sources particular trades in rising, falling and stagnant markets.

The capability of trading on such fine prices, allows us to gain on positions from the slightest of market moves.

Possible risk factors; can the client disconnect their account at any time?

What internal control processes are in use?

The Formaltrade Group has very well implemented supplementary internal controls of all daily transactions in the company’s business activities.  The internal control measures are based on the company’s introduction of additional yearly transactions reporting, in addition to the annual income reporting to regulatory agencies.

Daily transactions are updated continually prior to the yearly report presented as a percentage table for the authorities. By means of this table, the public can follow all levels of transactions in the form of daily, weekly and monthly increases or decreases expressed as percentages.

At the end of each year, the data is submitted to the accounting firm for review and access to the company’s account, which can be checked around the clock and historically.  The table is then updated at the end of each year based on possible confirmation from the accounting firm.

This method helps ensure regulatory agencies can gain an understanding of the company’s business in advance and prior to the annual report. As a result, the process of compilation of information prior to the annual report is also made easier and more accurate, thereby allowing for mistakes to be corrected before they happen.
