Interest
Interest on Cash Balances with DMA.
You might be entitled to receive interest on your funds deposited with DMA depending on the market bid rate. The following interest rates apply to funds deposited with DMA:
Net Free Equity:
Local:
Fixed rate of 6.75% on ZAR cash balances and positive Net Free Equity
Offshore:
Fixed rate of 2% on USD cash balances and positive Net Free Equity
Market bid less 2% on GBP cash balances and positive Net Free Equity
Market bid less 1.25% on EUR cash balances and positive Net Free Equity
Interest paid on all other offshore currencies on the account is the higher of market bid rates minus the spread indicated in the trading conditions on the platforms.
Cash collateral for Net Free Equity margin financing and interest may differ from the trading margin requirement. Please reach out to the DMA trading team for details on the cash collateral for margin financing used for Net Free Equity calculations.
Negative Net Free Equity:
Interest will be charged on negative cash balances including negative net free equity balances at market ask rates plus the spread indicated in the trading conditions on the platforms. Interest is calculated daily and settled monthly – within seven business days after the end of each calendar month.
DMA invests client monies, segregated and protected, in order to achieve the interest rates received for clients and, in lieu of such, charges an administrative fee. The interest rate received in your account is net of DMA’s administrative charge.
