In the event of insufficient cash balance in your Account, we may liquidate your positions in your Investment Portfolio, or collect any uninvested cash as reflected in your Account, or transfer Assets in your Investment Portfolio to ourselves to satisfy any shortfall. In some cases, where we are unable to liquidate the precise number of units in your Investment Portfolio in order to set off our Fees and/or Taxes payable by you, you agree that we may redeem or subscribe slightly more or less units to make such payment, and in such event clause 8.4.8 may apply.

8.4.8
|
Where we, our Nominee or any sub-custodian hold your Assets with those of other customers in an omnibus client account, you may be exposed to settlement risks arising from the transactions of such other clients in that financial instrument. Your Assets may be pooled with financial instruments of the same description of those of other customers, in the course of settlement, and as a result may be used for the account of other customers. You consent to your Assets being held in an omnibus client account and to the use of your Assets in this way.

Your Assets may be pooled with financial instruments of the same description of those of other customers, in the course of settlement, and as a result may be used for the account of other customers. Further, in some cases, due to the aggregation of Investments, when we redeem or subscribe for Investments on a consolidated basis, it may be administratively impossible or impracticable to apportion residual sums of money amongst all the relevant customers. To the extent that such sums are of de minimis value, you agree that we may forfeit such sums which we may use at our discretion (including to top up any residual sums of money required where there are shortfalls due to the consolidated nature of the orders). You consent to your Assets being held in an omnibus client account and to the use of your Assets in this way.
