Security of Funds for Futures and Options on Futures

The safety and security of customer funds administered by a futures brokerage firm is of paramount importance, and RCG follows the requirements of the Commodity Exchange Act and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) regulations to ensure that customers' money, securities and property are segregated from RCG's own operating funds.

This means that RCG accounts for customer funds separately, may not commingle customers' funds with the company's assets, and may not use any customer's segregated funds to margin another customer's trades.

Transparency of Safety Measures To Protect Futures Brokers’ Customers

  • Customer funds are kept in separate, clearly marked, segregated customer accounts by a bank.
  • Each bank signs its acknowledgment that segregated assets may only be used for the customer that owns them.
  • RCG may only invest segregated assets in U.S. guaranteed funds or other allowed instruments, such as U.S. Treasury securities, municipal securities, government sponsored agency securities, certificates of deposit, or money market mutual funds.
  • RCG keeps an account of customer segregated funds and assets in real-time.
  • The total amount of customer segregated funds and assets deposited in segregated accounts is calculated at the end of each business day.
  • As required by the CFTC, RCG does not commingle funds of customers trading on U.S. Exchanges with funds of customers trading on non-U.S. Exchanges.
  • RCG also calculates the secured amount sufficient to cover current obligations to customers, the excess or deficiency of the segregated funds, and invests sufficient funds to maintain liquidity at all times.
