Notes:

  1. Euro Pacific’s Tiered commission models are not intended to be a direct pass-through of exchange and third-party fees and rebates. Costs passed on to clients in Euro Pacific’s Tiered commission schedule may be greater than the costs paid by Euro Pacific to the relevant exchange, regulator, clearinghouse or third party. For example, Euro Pacific may receive volume discounts that are not passed on to clients. Likewise, rebates passed on to clients by Euro Pacific may be less than the rebates Euro Pacific receives from the relevant market. For example, Euro Pacific may receive enhanced rebate payments for exceeding volume thresholds on particular markets, but typically will not pass these enhancements directly to clients.
  2. Volume tiers are applied based on monthly cumulative trade volume summed across all futures and futures options contracts at the time of the trade. Only contracts that are traded while under the Volume Tiered pricing structure will count towards the monthly volume. Contract volumes for advisor, institutions, and broker accounts are summed across all accounts for the purpose of determining volume breaks. These fees are applied on a marginal basis for a given calendar month. If for example, you execute 1,500 US contracts in a month, your Euro Pacific execution costs would be: 1,000 contracts at USD 0.60 and 500 contracts at USD 0.45
  3. For first 100 lots. Portion of order above 100 lots will be charged at INR 5 per lot.
  4. Non-member exchange and regulatory fees are applied, unless a client is pre-qualified by Euro Pacific. Contact Sales & Trading for more information.
  5. The maximum per order for NRIs will be INR 150.

  • Commissions apply to all order types.
  • All fees are charged in the currency of the traded product.
  • VAT, also referred to as consumption tax, goods and services tax, where applicable, will be separately applied for eligible services.
  • Modified orders will be treated as the cancellation and replacement of an existing order with a new order. On certain exchanges, this may have the effect of subjecting modified orders to commission minimums as if they were new orders. For example, if an order for 200 contracts is submitted and 100 contracts execute, then you modify the order and another 100 contracts execute, a commission minimum would be applied to both 100 contract orders. Orders that persist overnight will be considered a new order for the purposes of determining order minimums.
  • Effective March 1, 2013, certain Italian stocks will be subject to a transaction tax. For additional details regarding the calculation of the tax, please refer here.

  • Effective September 1, 2013, derivatives on those Italian securities subject to the transaction tax will similarly become subject to a transaction tax. For additional details regarding the derivative transaction tax, please refer here.
  • The standard commission will be charged for the exercise or assignment of any Futures or Future Options Contract.
  • Single Stock Futures are not available for volume tiered pricing.
