Privacy Policy
GNT Capital Ltd, along with our trade name Global Next Trade, serves both individual and corporate clients, providing access to global markets in CFDs (Contracts for Difference). When you trade CFDs with GNT Capital Ltd., you are simply speculating on the price movement of a financial instrument, without taking possession of the underlying asset or enjoying rights like dividends or other related benefits. Our clients access these products through private agreements designed to help navigate the complexities and risks of these high-risk financial markets. It is essential that clients understand that while these markets offer significant opportunities, they also carry the potential for substantial loss and may not be suitable for all investors. We strongly advise clients to thoroughly assess their financial situation and risk tolerance, and seek independent financial advice if necessary before engaging in any trading activities. Our services, in compliance with the legal and regulatory frameworks of the jurisdictions in which we operate, are not intended for distribution or use by any person in any jurisdiction where such distribution or use would violate local laws, particularly in the United States and Canada. Please note that our terms, conditions, and fees—including those related to the platform and market data—are subject to change, as outlined in our private agreements. In accordance with exchange regulations, clients are categorized as either non-professional or professional, each with its own set of compliance requirements and fees. We encourage clients to regularly review these terms and reach out to our support team for clarifications or further information. For additional insights, you may want to explore research papers on CFDs and market regulation or review resources on risk management in high-volatility markets to further deepen your understanding.
