What do the Investment Objectives mean in my application?

We use your intended investment objectives to help determine which products you will have permission to trade. Choose from:

  • Growth: You want the value of your investments to increase over time rather than provide immediate current income. The investor can assume a higher degree of risk. 
  • Hedging: To take positions in a product to hedge or offset the risk of a position in another product.
  • Preservation of Capital and Income Generation: To seek maximum safety and stability for your principal by focusing on securities and investments that carry a low degree of risk and/or to generate dividends, interest, or other income instead of (or in addition to) long-term capital appreciation. 
  • Profits from Active Trading and Speculation: To increase the principal value of your investments by assuming substantially higher risk to your investment capital.
