However, you will forfeit the following protections as Pro account holder:
- The provision of a Product Disclosure Statement (PDS), Financial Services Guide (FSG) or any other relevant documents that Vantage will typically provide to retail clients.
- The protections afforded under ASIC’s PIO measures for CFDs, including leverage restrictions
- AFCA’s dispute resolution scheme for recourse.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What are the differences between a Retail account and a Pro account?
Everyone is a retail client unless they satisfy one of the requirements to be classified as a wholesale client under the Corporations Act 2001 Act (Corporations Act). Wholesale clients have different conditions available for trading to retail clients. This is because wholesale clients are expected to have a more sophisticated understanding of complex CFD products.
