A futures clearing relationship through the United-ICAP ‘Introducing Broker’ relationship ensures the most complete and in-depth delivery of the full range of our services. It enables us to apply the full range of our knowledge and expertise on a transaction by transaction basis to each and every order. When a client calls in a market order there is no discussion. The order is executed immediately and at the best possible price.

But when there is time for discussion we make every attempt to optimize the entry and exit levels for every strategy and every order. This optimization arises from both our fluency with technical analysis and our extensive experience in the energy markets. Our clearing clients receive the full benefit of our technical advisory services and extensive brokerage experience. The range and extent of our existing clearing accounts speaks to the value of this service.

It is also worth noting that the great majority of new clearing accounts are referred to us by existing clients. No other clearing firm offers the depth and expertise of the United-ICAP Technical Advisory Service. Our clearing rates are as competitive as those at any other clearing firm. So why pay the same amount for clearing services at another brokerage firm and get so much less than United-ICAP offers?

 

As an Introducing Broker ( I.B.) we offer full service futures clearing services through a choice of Futures Commission Merchants ( F.C.M.'s ). One of the principle advantages of a futures clearing account through United-ICAP is that every clearing accounts with sufficient activity have full access to our technical advisory service. No other clearing firm can offer and range and depth of insights that technical analysis affords. It is our clearing accounts that receive the full benefit from our technical advisory service because we can offer our input on a transaction by transaction basis. Our clearingfees are as competitive as those at any other firm. Why pay the same amount for clearing services at another clearing house when you can get so much more for your clearing dollar at United-ICAP?

Another significant advantage of our Introducing Broker status is that we can match our clients with the F.C.M. that best fits their unique requirements. Our long experience as an Introducing Broker enables us to identify the various strengths and features of the different F.C.M. firms and suggest the most appropriate relationship.
