Permissions

Trading permissions specify which products you can trade and in which locations. You use the Permissions page to view or modify existing trade permissions or subscribe to new permissions. When specifying permissions, you will be asked to sign any risk disclosures required by local regulatory authority.

Who can access the Permissions page in the Manage Clients/Funds menu?

You can access this page if you are a(n):

• Advisor Master User Individual/Organization (can only view)
• Broker Master User (Non-disclosed Broker Masters can modify the trading permissions of client accounts)
• Investment Manager Master User (can only view)

The Permissions page is available in PDF format for advisor clients.

To set trading permissions

1. Click Manage Clients/Funds > Trading > Permissions. The Trading Permissions page appears by default.
2. Use the Account Selector to search for client or sub accounts by Account ID, Account Title or Account Alias, then click the desired account to view the pending items or requests for that account.

The Account Selector is closed once you select an account. To change the selected account, click the tab to open the Account Selector, and then click a different account.

3. In the Trading Programs section of the page, view the trading programs in which the selected account is participating.

• The Stock Yield Enhancement Program allows us to borrow shares from you in exchange for cash collateral, and then lend the shares to traders who want to sell them short and are willing to pay a fee to borrow them. For more information, see our Stock Yield Enhancement Program highlights.
• Portfolio Margin customers can also sign up for our Pre-Borrow Program, which lets you pre-borrow stocks for short sales in Trader Workstation instead of waiting three days until the settlement date. Note that we will charge you the indicative borrow rate for each day up to the settlement date beginning with the trade date, and you can find this rate on your daily Activity Statement.
  

4. The Trading Permissions section of the page lists all of the products that the selected account can trade and the countries in which it can trade them.
