As arbitragers, hedgers or directional investors, our clients trade on all major international exchanges, including the LME, CME, COMEX, NYMEX, SGX and HKEX

Our client base is international and consists of arbitragers as well as physical traders. To allow our clients to hedge their risks and take advantage of opportunities wherever they appear, we provide trading access to exchanges across the globe.
Our team has decades of experience servicing clients and we take pride in our ability to understand our clients' needs and guide them to the products most suited to their needs. At the same time, our close relationship with exchanges such as the LME enables us to recognise emerging trends and represent our clients' interests as responses to these developments are being shaped.

China is opening up its financial markets and the Overseas Intermediary mechanism is a major part of this process, giving investors outside of China the opportunity to trade internationalised contracts on the INE, DCE and ZCE exchanges.
The process is efficient, allowing for cross border transfers in under 2 hours, and all funds are assigned a unique identifier as soon as they enter China, guaranteeing their safety and ensuring they can be used exclusively by the client for trading futures.
The list of internationalised contracts is steadily increasing and already includes key products such as copper, iron ore and crude oil.

Account Opening

Our account opening process is twofold - we first set up the BANDS trading account, enabling you to trade on the international exchanges. At this stage we will find and prepare the best set up in terms of connectivity, exchange access and market data and assist with training and testing as necessary. At the same time we will apply for a client trading code at the CFMMC. This trading code is a unique client identifier, attached to every cross-border cash transfer, and secures the client funds in China. It is also required to trade using the Overseas Intermediary mechanism and access the INE, DCE and ZCE exchanges.
Our client service team will assist you at every step along the way to make this process as painless as possible. With the documents all in place, we are able to open an account within a week while the trading code is typically ready within another week.
