Introducing Brokers

GNI touch® work in conjunction with many Introducing Brokers (IBs) worldwide. Various commission structures and rebate schemes are available to IBs and other Introducers. The most common relationships are outlined below.

Introducing Brokers (IBs)

An IB will fully disclose a potential client to GNI touch® and the company will contract directly with the client. The IB can share the income generated from that client. For IBs to be able to trade on their client's behalf, the client must give authorisation by completing the power of attorney form included in each account opening pack. IBs must meet standard regulatory requirements and demonstrate that they are operating from a business area covered by its own regulatory authority.

Introducers

Introducers have no control and do not run accounts that they introduce to GNI touch®. Once the introduction has been made, the client will contract with MF Global UK Ltd. directly, and the account management is handled by GNI touch®. GNI touch® may arrange to pay a fee, or share in the income from each client that has been introduced, generally set as a percentage. Introducers are not required to demonstrate their regulatory status.

Omnibus

Omnibus accounts are common among Brokerage Houses and Fund Managers. The Broker/Fund holds one contractual agreement with GNI touch® in their name and transact all business for their clients under this banner. Sub-accounts with GNI touch® can also be opened to differentiate end-clients or trading strategies. Omnibus accounts tend to be used by institutions which have full back-office and in-house accounting facilities.
