7. A rolling adjustment is applied to rolling cash positions held overnight.

Interest adjustments are calculated as follows:

S x P x I / 365 = D

Symbols

D = daily interest adjustment

S = stake size

P = underlying index price at time of calculation

I = applicable annual interest rate

The applicable interest rate will be +/-2.5% above/below the indicator cash rate for that index unless otherwise stipulated.

Example of long position using N = R5 P = 14900 (US 30) I = 3.0 (2.5 applicable int rate + 0.5 indicator cash rate)

5 x 14900 x 3        = R6.12 (debit)

365 x100

Funding in respect of long positions is debited from a client's account and interest in respect of short positions is credited to a client's account*

* during periods of low interest rates it is possible for short positions to result in a debit posting rather than a credit
