  • PT's Tiered (i.e., commission plus external venue fees/rebates) commission models are not intended to be a direct pass-through of exchange and third-party fees and rebates. Costs passed on to clients in PT’s Tiered commission schedule may be greater than the costs paid by PT to the relevant exchange, regulator, clearinghouse or third party. For example, PT may receive volume discounts that are not passed on to clients. Likewise, rebates passed on to clients by PT may be less than the rebates PT receives from the relevant market. For example, PT may receive enhanced rebate payments for exceeding volume thresholds on particular markets, but typically will not pass these enhancements directly to clients. In certain circumstances, PT may receive discounts with respect to third party fees, including exchange and/or clearing fees, that may not pass-through to clients.
  • Commissions apply to all order types.
  • Commissions are not charged for exercise and assignment, except in Australia and Japan.
  • All exchange and regulatory fees included except for Hong Kong stock options.
  • Modified orders will be treated as the cancellation and replacement of an existing order with a new order. On certain exchanges, this may have the effect of subjecting modified orders to commission minimums as if they were new orders. For example, if an order for 200 contracts is submitted and 100 contracts execute, then you modify the order and another 100 contracts execute, a commission minimum would be applied to both 100 contract orders. Orders that persist overnight will be considered a new order for the purposes of determining order minimums.
  • PT may change these rates at any time in its sole discretion. Commission rates may also vary by program or arrangement. Restrictions apply. The published rates are for self-directed clients of PT. Clients introduced through another broker or managed by an advisor may pay additional commissions set by their introducing broker or advisor. Clients should contact their introducing broker or advisor about the rates that will apply to their account.
  • VAT, also referred to as consumption tax, goods and services tax, where applicable, will be separately applied for eligible services. For certain tax jurisdictions, e.g. GST in Singapore, the commissions and fees that we charge you may be subject to GST even for services provided and consumed outside of Singapore. PT does not give tax advice, please consult a tax professional.
