This Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) is dated 24 December 2020 and was prepared on that date by Switch Markets PTY LTD ('Switch'). Switch is the authorized representative of Royal ETP LLC (149 LLC 2019) ('Authorizer'). Switch issues the over-the-counter contracts ('Contracts') referred to in this PDS on behalf of the Authorizer.

This PDS is designed to help you decide whether the contracts described in this PDS are appropriate for you. You may also use this PDS to compare this financial product with similar financial products offered by other issuers.

This PDS describes the key features of our Contracts, their benefits, risks, the costs and fees of trading in them and other related information. The Contracts are sophisticated financial products, so you should read this PDS and the Account Terms in full before making any decision to invest in them. We encourage you to seek independent financial advice prior to placing any trades. Switch does not provide personal advice.

The expressions used in this PDS have definitions given in the Glossary at the end of this PDS (see Section 7), or have a meaning given by law and regulation.

  • shares (referred to as Share Contracts);
  • indices (referred to as Index Contracts);
  • commodities (referred to as Commodity Contracts);
  • Foreign Exchange (referred to as FX Contracts);
  • Bullion (referred to as Bullion Contracts); together, referred to as the 'Contracts'.

The Contracts covered by this PDS are those traded on Switch's Electronic Trading Platform (see section 3.7 for more). These Contracts are derivative products issued by Switch on behalf of the Authorizer and are not exchange-traded products.

1.3 Your Potential Liability

Please especially read the Key Information in Section 2 and the Significant Risks in Section 4 for important information about your potential liability.

1.5 Your Suitability to Trade the Contracts

If we ask you for your personal information to assess your suitability to trade the Contracts and we accept your application to trade these contracts, this is not personal advice or any other advice to you. You must not rely on our assessment of your suitability since it is based on the information you provide, and the assessment is only for our purposes of deciding whether to open an Account for you. You may not later claim you are not responsible for your losses merely because we have opened an Account for you after assessing your suitability. You remain solely responsible for your own assessments of the features and risks and seeking your own advice on whether the Contracts are suitable for you.

We will assess wholesale client or retail client status from time to time. If you satisfy the criteria to be classified as a wholesale client, we may classify you as such. We are under no obligation to inform you if we classify you as a wholesale client.
