Governing Law and Jurisdiction – This Agreement shall be governed by the law applicable in Saint Lucia

SwissTrades365 firmly opposes money laundering and actively supports the fight against individuals involved in such illicit activities. It adheres to the guidelines established by MONEYVAL (Committee of Experts on the Evaluation of Anti-Money Laundering Measures). MONEYVAL operates as a continuous monitoring mechanism within the Council of Europe, an organisation comprising 47 member states, directly reporting to its primary body, the Committee of Ministers. Entrusted with evaluating adherence to key international standards aimed at combating money laundering and terrorist financing, MONEYVAL also assesses the effectiveness of their implementation and provides recommendations for enhancing national systems. Additionally, MONEYVAL conducts comprehensive research on the thematic typologies of money laundering and terrorist financing techniques and trends. Originally an observer to the FATF, MONEYVAL attained associate membership status in June 2006.

SwissTrades365 has implemented measures to discourage individuals from engaging in money laundering. These measures consist of:

1. 1. Ensure clients possess legitimate forms of identification.
   2. Keep detailed records of identification data.
   3. Verify that clients are not identified or suspected terrorists by cross-referencing their names with lists of known or suspected terrorists.
   4. Notify clients that the information they provide may be utilised for identity verification purposes.
   5. Carefully monitor clients’ financial transactions.
   6. We do not accept cash, money orders, third-party transactions, transfers from exchange houses, or transfers from Western Union. Money laundering refers to the process of disguising funds derived from illegal activities to appear as if they originated from legitimate sources when moving through the financial system.

Refund Policy

SwissTrades365′ team ensures timely processing of all withdrawal requests, requiring traders to undergo the KYC identification process. Traders must submit all necessary documents and additional information to facilitate the secure and accurate processing of their funds.

SwissTrades365 Premium Trading Accounts Fees and Charges

• Management Fee: In our commitment to upholding top-tier service standards for our traders, we institute an annual fee. This fee serves to comprehensively address the operational and functional expenses linked with your account. Generally, it constitutes approximately 2% of your fund’s net asset value (NAV) throughout a 12-month duration.
• Performance Fee: This fee serves as an incentive fee, acting as a reward for achieving positive returns. As part of our performance fee structure, we commonly assess 20% of your fund’s profits. This fee model is triggered when your fund exceeds a pre-established profit threshold.

For additional clarification regarding our fees, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our customer care team.

How our Performance Fee is calculated:

In this scenario, consider an investor who has allocated $100 to a hedge fund manager within a hedge fund.

Automatically, the hedge fund manager collects a 2% fee, leaving $98 to be invested in any asset class, such as stocks, bonds, and/or commodities. In this specific example, the investment was profitable, yielding a return of $110. A 20% fee is then deducted from the hedge fund as an incentive fee, which is derived from any profits generated. Thus, a total of $12 is allocated to the fee, equating to $2.4. This leaves $107.6, rounded up to $108 in this case, to be returned to the investor.

For some time now, the 2/20 fee structure has been considered the more traditional model. However, hedge fund managers face mounting pressure to lower these fees. In 2019, Preqin observed slight decreases in the industry’s fee structure, reducing the average management fee to 1.50% and the performance fee to 19%. To mitigate the risk of prematurely taken performance fees, potentially triggering investors to exercise a claw-back provision, the implementation of a hurdle rate and/or high-water mark is advisable.

• Discounts for Capital Lockup

During a lock-up period, investors are restricted from making any selling decisions regarding a specific investment, with expectations not to redeem or sell shares of said investments. Lock-up periods serve two primary purposes:

• hedge funds
• start-ups/IPOs

The significance of lock-up periods lies in providing fund managers with the necessary time to exit investments deemed unfavourable, whether due to illiquidity or an unbalanced investment portfolio.

To ensure investors have ample time to exit an investment without adversely impacting the overall portfolio, hedge fund lock-ups typically range from 30 to 90 days, varying based on the underlying investments of each fund.

For long/short funds invested in liquid stocks, the lock-up period typically spans one month. Conversely, hedge funds dealing in thinly traded securities, such as distressed loans, tend to have longer lock-up periods. Some hedge funds may even have no lock-up period at all, contingent upon the fund’s investment structure.

Upon the conclusion of the lock-up period, investors retain the freedom to redeem their shares according to the predetermined schedule, often quarterly. To facilitate a smooth transition, a notice period of 30 to 90 days may be provided, allowing fund managers adequate time to liquidate underlying securities and ensure seamless payment to investors.

Hedge funds have the flexibility to offer substantial discounts to investors willing to commit to a specified lock-up period, typically six months to one year. Employing this strategy allows hedge funds to allocate sufficient time to investments requiring longer-term horizons while granting clients a reduced fee structure. With SwissTrades365, discounts of up to 5% are offered as part of this arrangement.

• Additional Fees
  Various forms of fees may be applicable to your SwissTrades365 account, depending on your trading activity. These fees include:

1. Overnight Funding Fee
   The Overnight Funding Fee is either charged or added to your account if you maintain a trading position open overnight, as per our trading platform time. This period, which we denote as the “Overnight Funding Time,” occurs if you choose to keep your trade open beyond a specific hour.
2. Currency Conversion Fee
   Whenever you execute a trade involving a currency different from the one specified for your SwissTrades365 trading account, a Currency Conversion Fee is applied. This fee is automatically reflected in real-time within the unrealized profit and loss of your open position on your SwissTrades365 account.
3. Guaranteed Stop Order
   The Guaranteed Stop Order serves as a risk management tool, particularly in relation to the Stop Loss level. It guarantees that your position will close at a specific requested rate. However, it’s important to note that activating this feature may result in a wider spread.
4. Inactivity Fee
   The Inactivity Fee is applicable only when there is no activity in your account for a period exceeding 3 months. If your account remains inactive for 3 months, a fee of up to $10 per month will be deducted from your SwissTrades365 trading account. Should you fail to log into your SwissTrades365 trading account thereafter, this fee will persistently be charged from your balance for as long as there is no login activity.
5. Deposits and Withdrawals Fees
   We rarely impose fees when transferring funds to and from your SwissTrades365 trading account. Any fees incurred typically arise from your payment issuer or bank, rather than from SwissTrades365

Occasionally, we may levy a fee for surpassing the maximum number of monthly withdrawals. This can occur with international credit card transactions, incoming/outgoing bank transfers, and/or transactions involving unsupported currencies (Forex conversion).
