Profile scope

Phillip Capital Inc. combines US futures clearing with broker-dealer securities services. Its retail relationship summary usually requires $5,000 to open an account, while commissions depend on the introducing broker or direct agreement. Futures segregation, securities protection, cash sweeps and stock lending create different claims on client assets.

  • Futures and securities accounts have different protection regimes.
  • The retail relationship summary usually requires $5,000; introducing-broker pricing can differ.
  • Automatic money-market sweeps and fully paid lending materially change how assets are held.

Accounts and service model

Sections ↑

The US company is an execution and clearing intermediary. Its retail relationship summary does not promise investment advice or ongoing portfolio monitoring. An introducing broker or adviser can set the commercial relationship, so a group-wide advertised price is not a reliable account tariff.[5]

A discounted intraday requirement does not establish a permanent leverage ratio or an entitlement to carry the position overnight. The instrument and account margin determine the cash requirement.[3]
