Company Profile

Account Information

Financial Media

Each client must select the Futures Commission Merchant (“FCM”) and, if applicable, the Introducing Broker that will maintain and service the account.  John J. Lothian & Company, Inc. has no requirement that clients must choose the brokerage services of JJLCO’s principal, his IB employer or any of its registered brokers. 

Clients may open an account with JJLCO’s principal or any registered broker of his IB employer, The Price Futures Group, Inc. (www.pricegroup.com) through it clearing relationship with Man Financial, Inc if they so choose.  JJLCO has no authority with respect to the selection of an FCM, or the brokerage arrangements, unless clients chose to deal directly with JJLCO’s principal in his brokerage capacity. Regardless of the brokerage selected and the brokerage arrangements, they must be acceptable to JJLCO.  JJLCO will consider the financial terms the customer has negotiated and operational hurdles presented by each brokerage firm in deciding whether to accept an account.

To provide more efficient execution of clients’ orders, JJLCO may place orders for execution through an executing broker, which will later “give up” such orders to a client’s FCM.  Clients pay all “give up” fees.  

The FCM, and not JJLCO, will have custody of your funds and will furnish you with confirmations of all transactions in your account, monthly statements showing information about trading activities in your account, and other accounts statement customarily furnished by the FCM to its customers.  The furnishing of such reports shall be the sole responsibility of the FCM, and JJLCO, is not required to furnish these reports to you.  You must authorize the FCM to forward to JJLCO copies of all confirmations, statements, or reports sent by the FCM to you.

 You are responsible for negotiating the commissions charged to your account by your broker.  Fees are deducted directly from your brokerage account.  You authorize the FCM to remit directly to JJLCO payment of JJLCO’s incentive and management fees.

MARKETSWIKI MAKES NO GUARANTEE OF VALIDITY

MarketsWiki is an online open-content collaborative compilation of news and information, that is, a voluntary association of individuals and groups working to develop a common resource of human knowledge. The structure of the project allows anyone subscribing to the John Lothian or Environmental Markets Newsletters to alter its content. Please be advised that nothing found here has necessarily been reviewed by people with the expertise required to provide you with complete, accurate or reliable information.

That is not to say that you will not find valuable and accurate information in MarketsWiki; much of the time you will.
