Introduction
Forex Capital Trading Pty Ltd (ForexCT or the "Company") prides itself on upholding the highest form of ethical behavior when engaging in business transactions.  ForexCT knows that the only way to build trust and confidence in the Company is to engage with customers in an ethical and respectful manner.  Having a good reputation is vital to the success of any business, thus we feel that it is important that our employees follow a set Code of Conduct.

The Code of Business Ethics and Employee conduct introduces the principles and standards which have been set for the company, managers and employees.  The reason for having this code is to prevent/deter any wrongdoing by those three parties.  Adherence to the Code is imperative and failure to comply by any employee may result in disciplinary action.  If an employee is unsure about any nature of the Code, then the employee is advised to seek legal advise.   

Adherence to Laws & Regulations
At ForexCT, we regard adherence to the governing laws and regulations as paramount.  Compliance must always come before profits!

Forex Capital Trading Pty Ltd holds an Australian Financial Services License (License No. 306400).  The Australian Security & Investments Commission (ASIC) enforces the laws and regulations which govern Foreign Exchange trading and we are always in compliance with those standards.  The Australian regulatory framework is widely regarded as the most stringent and best in the world for investor protection.  If for some reason, a dispute arises, we will try to resolve the dispute internally in a fair and swift manner.

Our Core Ethical Principles

Integrity
At ForexCT, we have a steadfast adherence to strict ethical and moral codes. Nothing concerns us more than the integrity of our organisation.

Openness & Honesty
We are required by law to act in open and honest manner with our customers, thus any deceptive or misleading conduct will have harsh ramifications for the Company.  By being open and honest with our customers, we are able to develop trust.  As previously mentioned, trust is vital to the success of any organisation.
 
Competence
Competence relates to having the expertise and experience to complete the task required of you.  ForexCT's personnel and management have many years of experience in the Foreign Exchange sector and the currency markets.   

 Fairness & Respect
At ForexCT, we adhere to the motto "treat others as you wish to be treated".  We will always treat our customers with the utmost respect and dignity.  It does not matter whether the customer is a large institutional investor or your average "mum and dad" investor.  Both types of customers are regarded as equally important and will be treated accordingly.  At the end of the day it is the customers who will create success for businesses, thus customers deserve nothing less than the highest level of respect. 

Reliable
In business it is important that when someone says they are going to do something, then they do it.  ForexCT regards this as a crucial part of business practice.  Therefore, we will never make any promises that we cannot keep. 

Employee Responsibilities

Compliance with Laws & Regulations
All employees are responsible for adhering to all the relevant laws and regulations as well as the rules and principles outlined in the Code of Conduct.  Employees must ensure that they are familiar with the laws, regulations, best business practices, and the required ethical conduct which is befitting for being a ForexCT employee.    

Honesty
All employees are expected to act in an honest and dignified manner.  They must act in good faith when dealing with all customers.

Confidentiality
During daily business activities, employees are privileged to client information relating to account details, trade practices & patterns, fees & revenues, marketing practices etc.  Employees are required to keep this information confidential.  This means they are not permitted to disclose this information to any third-party unless they are legally permitted too.    

Conflicts of Interest
A conflict of interest arises when an employee of the company has competing professional or personal interests.  Such competing interests can make it difficult to fulfil his or her duties impartially.  Employees are expected not to put themselves in a situation, where a conflict of interest may arise.  Conflict of interests typically occur whereby an individual (or someone close to the individual) benefits at the expense of the Company.  Employees must always act in the best interest of the Company and not do anything that may compromise the integrity of the Company.  If an employee has any queries or questions regarding a potential conflict of interest, then they should immediately discuss it with management or seek legal advice.     

Reporting Violations of Code
When an employee becomes aware of any violations of the Code committed by themselves, other employees or management, then they are required and encouraged to report these violations to the legal and compliance departments
