Risk Management & Other Polices
BACKGROUND:
ACEMONEY INTERMEDIARIES Pvt. Ltd., a Trading Member of National Stock Exchange of India Ltd., Bse Ltd., MSEIL As per the requirement of Exchange & SEBI, Company has designed a “Risk Management Policy” for extending trading facility to its clients and in the respective segments of exchanges.
RMS works on the following concepts:
1. Cash: The clear balance available in the customer's ledger account in our books.
2 Margin: The underlying stake provided by the customer in the form of cash, FDR and/or stock to mitigate market (price) or settlement (auction) risk
3. Exposure: The aggregate of the customer's obligations arising out of buy + sell trades awaiting settlement in the cash segment and profit/ loss amounts that are yet to be settled on the closed positions.
4. Exposure multiple: The number of times that exposure is allowed on the underlying margin sales on the cash segment would have to be made either on the availability of cash margin or on the availability of the stocks (which are to be sold) in our margin account, by executing a transfer before the sale order is initiated.
5. Stock qualifying for margin in cash segment transactions: Securities in the approved list of Stock Exchange as per SEBI guidelines.
6. Total Deposit: The aggregate of client deposit available with us in the form of cash, Shares (After Applicable Hair Cut) and FDR.
POLICIES & PROCEDURES UNDER RMS
1. Policy for Penny Stock: The stocks, which are appearing in the list of illiquid securities issued by the Exchanges every month. These stocks are generally considered to be highly speculative and high risk because of their lack of liquidity, large bi-ask spreads, small capitalization and limited following and disclosure. Depend on the market condition and RMS Policy of the company RMS reserve the right to refuse to provide the limit in Penny stocks and losses if any on account of such refusal shall be borne by client only.
2. Setting up client’s exposure limits: The ‘‘ACEMONEY’’ may from time to time impose and vary limits on the orders that the client can place through the our trading system (including exposure limits, turnover limits, limits as to the number, value and/or kind of securities in respect of which orders can be placed etc.). The client is aware and agrees that the ‘‘ACEMONEY’’ may need to vary or reduce the limits or impose new limits urgently on the basis of the ‘‘ACEMONEY’’ risk perception and other factors considered relevant by to us including but not limited to limits on account of exchange/SEBI directions/limits (such as broker level/market level limits in security specific/volume specific exposures etc.), and the ‘‘ACEMONEY’’ may be unable to inform the client of such variation reduction or imposition in advance.
The client agrees that the ‘‘ACEMONEY’’ shall not be responsible for such variation, reduction or imposition or the client’s inability or route any order through the ‘‘ACEMONEY’’ trading system on account of any such variation, reduction or imposition of limits.

The client agrees that the losses, if any on account of such refusal or due to delay caused by such review, shall be borne exclusively by the client alone.
We have margin based RMS System, Total deposits of the clients are uploaded in the system and client may take exposure on the basis of margin applicable for respective security as per VAR based margining system of the stock exchange and/or margin defined by RMS based on their Risk Perception.
