Investment Services

Investors can participate in the PIA firstcapital Alpha Futures trading programmes via managed accounts or an innovative alternative to direct investment via a spreadbet account. It’s called Kinesis and offered through our partners – Capital Financial Markets Limited, delivering equivalent investment performance and tax free returns (depending on personal circumstances). The Strategy traded in any individual investor’s trading account will vary according to the size of that account and the investor’s own preferences.

SIMULATED TRADING RESULTS: The market information relating to the past performance of an investment is not necessarily a guide to its performance in the future. The value of investments or income from them may go down as well as up. Hypothetical and simulated performance results do not represent actual trading, may not account for actual market factors and have many limitations. Your accounts may not achieve similar profits or results. No representation is being made with respect to your accounts or circumstances, profits or results. The value of investments may rise or fall due to the volatility of world markets, interest rates and capital values or, for investments held in overseas markets, changes in the rate of exchange in the currency in which the investments are denominated. You may not necessarily get back the amount you invested.
