Trading & Investing in Uncertain Times

March 02, 2022 13:21

Dear Traders 

In recent times, our world has been rife with uncertainty.  

The pandemic arrived in 2020 and Covid-19 has been with us ever since. Despite positive vaccine roll-outs in many nations, new variants of the virus have continued to keep us under restrictions in many parts of the world.  

Over the last several months, inflation has been on the rise and, with it, the prospects of interest rate hikes, both of which have spooked investors and contributed to volatility in the equity markets. 

And now, conflict has flared up in eastern Europe, on a scale that has not been seen on our continent in decades. 

Naturally, there are many of us who are feeling concerned and uncertain about what the future holds. In such times, we want to remind you that we remain, now more than ever, committed to providing the best possible service to each and every one of our clients. 

It is hard not to notice the fact that the uncertainty which is currently gripping the world has spilled over into the financial markets, resulting in an increase in volatility.  

Whilst an increase in volatility can present savvy traders with an increase in trading opportunities, it also increases the associated risks. It is important that all of our clients who are actively trading or investing do so responsibly and with proper risk management safeguards in place. 

As your reliable partner, who puts your security first, we want to highlight some of the features our clients benefit from to help them manage their risk: 

  • Negative Account Balance Protection: the protection against negative account balances for all retail investors in the EU and the UK
  • Additional Client Fund Insurance Protection: up to 100,000 euros for clients of Admirals in Cyprus and up to 100,000 USD for our clients in Jordan
  • Low, Competitive Spreads: starting from 0.5 pips (in normal market conditions)
  • Stop Out Logic: automatically protecting you against high losses
  • Advanced, innovative features for your personal risk management: such as partial closures and break even stops
  • Volatility Protection Settings

And last, but not least, trading and investing with an award-winning broker, who is authorised and regulated by some of the most respected authorities in the world, such as the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) and the Jordan Securities Commission (JSC), as well as holding an Australian Financial Services License. 

Take care and stay safe. 

Kind regards,  

Admirals
