Pricing & charges04
Cost layers beyond the headline
| Cost layer | When it applies | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Currency conversion | Instrument and account currencies differ | Conversion spread/fee can outweigh a low commission.Source 1 |
| Financing or margin | Borrowed cash or leveraged position is carried | Variable interest and collateral liquidation can apply.Source 1 |
| Exchange, clearing and tax | Third-party charges are passed through | A low brokerage line does not remove statutory charges.Source 1 |

Platforms, orders & execution
Sections ↑Platforms & products05
Platform and order controls
| Route / control | Published capability | Operational limit |
|---|---|---|
| Online/mobile brokerage | Digital order and account access | Feature availability depends on account and market.Source 1 |
| Dealer-assisted service | Brokerage desk and relationship service | Pricing and instructions can differ from digital orders.Source 2Source 1 |
| Research portal | Institutional/HNWI research and analysis | Research access does not create an advisory mandate by itself.Source 3 |
An order instruction is not an execution guarantee. Market hours, price limits, liquidity, partial fills, corporate actions and system availability can change the result. A cancellation is effective only after the broker or venue acknowledges it; closing an app does not cancel an accepted order.[1]
Funding, withdrawals & transfers
Sections ↑Process06
Cash funding and withdrawal lifecycle
| Stage | Published route | Constraint |
|---|---|---|
| Bank funding | Transfer through the designated client/broker banking instructions | Same-name and reference requirements apply.Source 2 |
| Sale proceeds | Available after the applicable EGX/clearing settlement and obligations | Portfolio value is not immediately withdrawable cash.Source 1 |
| Withdrawal | Current signed instructions and registered-bank process | Public English pages do not establish a universal cut-off or limit.Source 2 |
Transfer terms07
Moving an existing portfolio
| Transfer type | Published treatment | Material consequence |
|---|---|---|
| Local securities transfer | Egyptian market/depository process for supported positions | Ownership details and forms must match.Source 1Source 8 |
| Transfer-out | Current broker/depository forms and charges apply | Encumbered or unsupported positions can delay movement.Source 2 |
| Account/service migration | Only under explicit client and firm instructions | A brand or group change should not be assumed from a public page alone.Source 2Source 5 |
Buying power, settled cash and withdrawable cash are different quantities. A deposit can support an order while still being subject to clearance, and sale proceeds remain tied to market settlement. Margin, open orders and transfer holds can reduce cash that appears available.[1]

Sections ↑Protections & eligibility08

Distinctive services
| Service | Function | Condition |
|---|---|---|
| Research | CI Capital research portal and analyst coverage | Research is not personal advice without a mandate.Source 3 |
| Institutional brokerage | Large-client execution and relationship services | Institutional scale does not define retail pricing.Source 1 |
| Group fixed-income brokerage | Government and corporate debt execution | Provided by the separately licensed group company; product liquidity and quote terms differ from equities.Source 4 |
| Brokerage operating scale | CI Capital reported EGP984 million of CI Brokerage revenue for 2025 | This is group reporting, not a client commission or retail profitability measure.Source 9 |
Research access and assisted execution do not by themselves authorise discretionary portfolio management. The signed mandate defines whether the firm advises, executes an instruction or manages assets.[1][3]
