DESIGNATED FUND MANA GER
The Account Holder hereby designates and authorises the below listed individual/ company as to trade on behalf of the Account Holder under the terms listed in this POA.
Full name of designated Fund Manager ( “Fund Manager”)
E xc lu s i o ns , L im i t a t i on s a n d i n d em n i t y ( C o n t i n u e d )
A u th o r i sa t i o n
The undersigned Account Holder hereby authorises Fund Manager as Account Holder’s agent and attorney-in-fact, and revokes all prior powers of attorney relating to Account Holder’s foreign exchange currency trading account at CFH Clearing, with full power of authority to purchase, sell or trade in over the counter foreign currency transactions, including non-deliverable transactions, on margin or otherwise, in one or more accounts (collectively, the “Accounts”) opened by and maintained with CFH Clearing in the Account Holder’s name and on the Account Holder’s behalf. Fund Manager is authorised to act on behalf of the Account Holder in the same manner and with the same force and effect as the Account Holder might or could act in respect to such transactions, as well as with respect to all other things necessary or incidental to the furtherance and/ or conduct of the Accounts. CFH Clearing is hereby authorised to follow instructions of Fund Manager in all such foreign currency transactions communicated through entry on CFH Clearing’s trading system (“CFH Online Facility”) or such other written or oral instructions that CFH Clearing may accept as well as management decisions relating to the Account. CFH Clearing will have no liability for following the instructions of Fund Manager, including but not limited to any instruction to aggregate orders of Account Holder with orders for or on behalf of Fund Manager’s other clients, and Account Holder will not attempt to hold CFH Clearing liable for Fund Manager’s actions or inactions.
E xc lu s i o ns , L im i t a t i on s a n d i n d em n i t y
Account Holder understands that CFH Clearing does not, by implication or otherwise, endorse the operating methods of such Fund Manager. Account Holder hereby releases CFH Clearing from any and all liability to Account Holder or to anyone claiming through Account Holder with respect to any damages, losses or loss of profits sustained or alleged to have been sustained as a result of CFH Clearing following Fund Manager’s instructions or for any matter arising out of the relationship between the Fund Manager and Account Holder and will, in addition to any other indemnity provided to CFH Clearing by Account Holder, indemnify CFH Clearing from any losses, damages, liabilities and expenses, of any kind or nature whatsoever, arising there from. Account Holder also agrees to hold CFH Clearing harmless and to indemnify it as to any expense, damage or liability (including legal fees) sustained by it with respect to any and all acts and practices of Fund Manager regarding the Account, including all losses arising there from and debit balance(s) due thereof. Account Holder acknowledges that Account Holder and Fund Manager, by separate agreement, have agreed on the method by which Fund Manager will be compensated for services rendered to Account Holder. Account Holder hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless CFH Clearing and its affiliates and employees from any loss, damage or dispute arising out of or relating to the calculation and payment of such fees to Fund Manager.
All statements, notices, correspondence and the like generated in the Account will be sent or given to Fund Manager at the address shown for this Account and to Account Holder at the address indicated in Account Holder’s Account documents, and to such other person or address as Account Holder has granted trading authority to Fund Manager. Account Holder acknowledges and understands that it is the sole responsibility of Account Holder to review the account statements as available on the CFH Online Facility, and that it is Account Holder’s obligation to contact CFH Clearing in the event Account Holder has any questions concerning the statements.
Account Holder understands and agrees that there are many strategies that can be used in trading foreign exchange, some of which have unlimited risk of loss and could result in Account Holder sustaining a total loss of all funds in the Account and, furthermore, that Account Holder is liable for any deficit in the Account resulting there from. Account Holder acknowledges and agrees that Account Holder has had the opportunity to discuss with Fund Manager, and understands the nature and risks of the strategy to be used in connection with foreign currency transactions effected for Account Holder’s Account.
Risk wa r n i n g
This authorisation is a continuing one and will remain in full force and effect until revoked by Account Holder, or by an authorised person on Account Holder’s behalf, by written notice given to CFH Clearing. Such revocation will become effective only upon the confirmation of receipt thereof by CFH Clearing but will not affect any liability in any way resulting from transactions initiated prior to its confirmation. Upon receipt of the revocation, CFH Clearing will have the right to close positions in Account Holder’s Account at the prevailing market prices as determined by CFH Clearing in its sole discretion and return funds to Account Holder. This authorisation will inure to the benefit of CFH Clearing, its successors and assigns. The provisions hereof will be in addition to, and will in no way limit or restrict, any right that CFH Clearing may have under any agreement with Account Holder. In the event termination is effected in accordance with the above, thus a revocation of the POA, the Account Holder’s assigned Fund Manager will continue to have access to the Account Holder’s account until close of business at 22:00 GMT, at which point the account balance will be settled. In the event the Account Holder suspects any irregular/ unauthorised activity by its Fund Manager, the Account Holder must notify CFH Clearing immediately.
