We offer a large range of instruments with flexible spreads which brings a greater degree of price transparency to clients’ trades.
With institutional-level pricing and lower transactional costs, we can pass on the benefit of tighter spreads available to us from the interbank market.
During certain times of the day, periods of lower liquidity and when there is increased market volatility, spreads will naturally widen. Fully understanding the dynamics of flexible spreads is the key to better-informed and more considered trading.
