Persons who for any reason are subject to any such restrictions must not access our website and, for the avoidance of doubt nothing herein is to be construed as directing our website to such persons.
All persons who access our website do so of their own initiative and accord and are responsible for compliance with all relevant laws/regulations applicable to them. We do not assume any responsibility for nor have any involvement in any non-compliance in this regard.
Some of the products and services we offer are permitted only for the use of certain categories of persons.
This section sets out the relevant information in this regard, applicable as may be required under the requisite laws of the country/territory of such persons.
Where applicable, our products and services can only be used by persons who are “institutional investors”, “accredited investors”, or “expert investors”, as defined by the Singapore Securities and Futures Act 2001; or their respective equivalent classes as may be prescribed under the laws of such other countries/territories applicable to these persons.
For the interpretation of “institutional investors”, “accredited investors” and “expert investors” under Singapore law, please refer to the Securities and Futures Act 2001 (in particular Section 4A) which can be found at the following link: https://sso.agc.gov.sg/Act/SFA2001
Straits Financial Services Pte Ltd (“SFSPL”) is the holder of a Capital Markets Services License issued by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (“MAS”) and is thus required to comply (amongst other things) with the provisions of the Securities and Futures (Licensing and Conduct of Business) Regulations (“SFLCBR”).
With particular regard to funds and assets received by SFSPL from its customers (“Customer Funds”), unless otherwise withdrawn or transferred pursuant to customers’ specific written instructions as permitted by all applicable laws, Part III of the SFLCBR requires SFSPL to hold them on trust for its customers in accounts opened with eligible financial institutions and separately from SFSPL’s own property.
In the unlikely event SFSPL becomes insolvent, these segregated Customer Funds would be excluded from the pool of assets for distribution to SFSPL’s creditors and instead, remain generally available for the benefit of SFSPL’s customers.
