What
is a stop order?
A stop order is an order placed below the current market price
and is triggered if the stock reaches at or below the stop price.
Once a stop order is triggered, your order will become a market
order. For a NYSE/AMEX/LSE/TSX stock, a stop order is triggered
by the last trade. If a sell stop order is placed above the current
market price of the stock, it will not be accepted by the exchanges
and will be cancelled.
The advantage of the stop order is that you do not need to
monitor your stock investments on a daily basis of how your
stock is performing. The disadvantage of the stop order is that
the stop price can be activated by a short term fluctuation
on the stock's price.
Let us consider the example where you buy DELL computers on
the NASDAQ market at $30 per share. If you have an investment
strategy where you do not wish to lose much more than 10% of
your initial investment, you then place a stop loss order for
$28 (after buying the stock). This means that if DELL computers
falls below $28 per share, your holdings will be sold at
the prevailing market price.
Another aspect to keep in mind is that once the stop price
is reached, your stop order becomes a market order and the price
at which you sell may be much lower from the stop price. In
the above example, you may have a market fill at $25 which
is more than your anticipated loss of 10%. This is to be considered
in a fast moving market where stock prices fluctuate very rapidly.
Can
I buy Mutual Funds?
Internaxx offers high-performance mutual funds from major
asset managers and promoters such as Fidelity, Schroders and Fortis,
and are sourced from around the world. New mutual fund providers
are continuously added to our website at www.internaxx.lu.
Can I buy Exchange Traded Funds?
What
is an ETF?
Exchange-traded
funds (or ETFs) are investment funds that trade throughout the
day on stock exchanges during normal trading hours. ETFs combine
the advantages of investing in mutual funds, with the liquidity
and flexibility traditionally offered by individual stocks.
Where
and how do I buy or sell ETFs?
You may trade any
ETF on any exchange offered by Internaxx, at any time of the
trading day, as you would any stock. ETFs listed on several
markets must be traded on their main listing market. All Order
types available on the exchange where the ETF is listed, such
as market orders, limit orders or stop orders can be used to
buy or sell ETFs.
What
benefits do ETFs offer investors?
- Continous, flexible real-time trading: Because
ETFs trade like normal stocks, they can be bought or sold
whenever the market is open. Prices are updated throughout
the day. ETFs can be bought or sold using market, limit
or stop-loss orders
- No entry fees or redemption charges: ETFs are
exchange traded; so the only transaction charge that applies
is the usual brokerage commission as per the "Rates"
section of the website.
- Liquidity: Market making agreements ensure adequate
market liquidity
- High transparency: In many cases, investors can
check whether an ETF is being priced fairly by comparing
the market price with the net asset value published daily
What
costs are involved for ETF transactions?
ETF transactions
are subject to the same trading fees as any other stock. Unlike
mutual funds, there are no entry fees associated with the purchase
of ETFs.
Who
should consider investing in ETFs?
ETFs appeal to
both institutional and retail investors and can be used in a
variety of investment strategies such as long term holding or
short term risk management and hedging. Like stocks or bonds,
ETFs carry market risk. Investors should seek professional advice
if they are unsure an ETF is suitable for their particular situation.
Where
can I find information on ETFs?
Can I buy units in Exchange Traded Commodities?
New!
What
is an ETC?
An ETC is an 'exchange
traded commodity'. ETCs track the price of an underlying commodity
or basket of commodities, and are listed and traded on a stock
exchange.
Where
and how do I buy or sell ETCs?
You may trade ETCs
via Internaxx as you would buy any other stock. ETCs listed
on several markets must be traded on their main listing market.
How
are ETCs priced?
As ETCs track the
performance of a particular commodity or commodity index, their
pricing is derived either from the spot price of a commodity
(ie the cash price you would pay to purchase the commodity today)
or the futures price of a commodity (ie the price for a commodity
you would commit today to pay in the future).
What
benefits do ETCs offer investors?
- Comprehensible & Easy to Use: As index ETCs
mirror the market as a whole there is no need to investigate
individual commodities thus simplifying investment decisions.
- Low Tracking Error: The open-ended nature of these
securities ensures tracking error is minimised and creates
an arbitrage opportunity should the price drift away from
the NAV.
- Liquid: Market makers provide guaranteed on-book
liquidity all day.
- Constant Trading during open market hours: ETCs
can be traded at any time during open hours. So investors
can check prices and place orders just like for stocks.
As ETC prices mirror the underlying index or commodity,
they can move both up and down. Investors can follow and
exploit these movements allowing them to plan their transactions
on a real time basis.
- No management of physical or futures positions:
Hassle free - reduces back-office costs.
- Market Access: All types of investors can gain
exposure, and are charged the same fees.
- Readily Available: ETCs are available through Internaxx.
- Low Costs: Investors can gain exposure to a vast
array of index and single commodity securities through a
single transaction.
What
costs are involved for ETC transactions?
ETC transactions
are subject to the same trading fees as any other stock.
Who
should consider investing in ETCs?
The wide range
of trading strategies available using ETCs mean that they can
be suitable for the largest institutional investor through to
the private investor. Although a passive tool, ETCs are commonly
utilised as part of active strategies and can be useful in short
term tactical plays as well as longer term investments. It really
depends on the specific requirements of the individual investor
and those unsure should seek professional advice.
What
are the benefits of ETCs trading like shares?
The unique structure of ETCs offers several advantages to
investors:
- Buy or sell at any time during the day, not just at the end
of the day as is the case with managed funds
- Invest in a portfolio of commodities with one trade

When
will I know how much I have paid for my Mutual Fund shares/units?
It depends on what kind of fund you are buying. Mutual Funds are
'forward priced' - which means that the orders
are placed with the fund companies on a daily basis prior to the
Net Asset Value of the shares being calculated - again each
day.
Our clients will know fund unit / share prices the same day
as the order was placed providing that it was placed prior to
11.00hrs CET. Orders placed after this time will be placed the
following business day so in this case it will be the following
day that a client will have access to this information. Settlement
for such orders is trade date plus 3 business days (according
to the Luxembourg civil calendar).
What
are the risks and costs associated with investments in securities
denominated in different currencies?
If you choose to settle in a currency other than the currency
in which the security is denominated, your funds will be exchanged
on settlement day. The currency in which your investment is denominated
will fluctuate over time, which may negatively impact the value,
price and yield of your investment.
How
is performance calculated?
Performance figures are calculated using the average book cost method.
It is calculated daily based on the closing price using the following
formulas:
- Book value = (quantity x purchase price) + commission
- Average book price = ((quantity x book value) + commission) /
quantity
- Performance = (closing price - book value) / book value
What happens if I buy or sell additional shares?
If you buy or sell
additional shares, the average book value and performance figures
are automatically updated.
What happens if I transfer-in some securities?
If you transfer-in
some securities, the book value displayed will be 0. We recommend
that you manually enter the book value using the "Edit book
value" button on the "Portfolio" page.
How
can I view performance data for my portfolio?
Log-in at www.internaxx.lu, and click on "My Account"
and then on "Portfolio" or "Holdings".
How can I update the book value for my securities?
You can easily
update the book value for your securities using the "Edit
book value" button on your "Portfolio" page.
Performance will automatically be updated with this new data.
Example of performance calculation for an initial position
You hold BMW shares in your portfolio.
Quantity: 250
Purchase price: 25 EUR
Total purchase price: 6250 EUR
Commission: 35 EUR
Total transaction cost: 6285 EUR
In this case, the book value per share is 25.14 EUR [(250 x
25 + 35) / 250] and the book value of the position is 6285 EUR
[25.14 x 250]
If the closing price of the shares is 27 EUR, the closing value
of this position is 6750 EUR [250 x 27]. Therefore, performance
is 7.40% [(6750 - 6285) / 6285].
Example of performance calculation in the case of an additional purchase
You buy an additional
350 BWM shares.
Purchase price of the additional shares: 27 EUR
Purchase price of the additional position: 9450 EUR
Commission: 35 EUR
Total transaction cost: 9485 EUR
Total cost of the position: 6285 EUR + 9485 EUR = 15770 EUR
Consequently, the average book value is 26.28 EUR [15770 /
600] and the book value of the position is 15770 EUR (26.28
EUR x 600).
If the share's closing price is 27 EUR, the closing value of
this position is 16200 EUR [600 x 27]. Therefore performance
is 2.73% [(16200 - 15770) / 15770].
Example of performance calculation in the case of a partial sell
You sell 300 BMW
shares
Book value of sold shares: 300 x 26.28 EUR = 7885 EUR
Book value of remaining shares: 300 x 26.28 EUR = 7885 EUR
Performance if shares are quoted at 27 EUR: [(8100 - 7885)
/ 7885)] = 2.73 %

An e-mail generally formatted to appear to be from a legitimate
source is sent to an unsuspecting user. The message, usually
providing a link to a login page, may ask you to "update,"
"validate," or "confirm" your account information.
Sometimes it also threats the user to terminate his account
unless he responds immediately.
What should you do in case you think you have a received a 'phishing' email?
- Never respond to suspicious emails asking for sensitive information.
- Never follow the links / open any attachment in an email you
suspect might be phishing.
Should you receive any unsolicited e-mail communication claiming
to be from Internaxx and requesting such sensitive information,
please DO NOT RESPOND to it and REPORT it to us
as soon as possible ( info@internaxx.lu
or +352-2603 2003).

7.
Taxes
EU Tax Savings Directive
What is the scope of the EU Tax Savings Directive?
The EU Tax Savings Directive, applicable to European citizens
and European residents, came into force on July 1st, 2005. This
allows for banks in Luxembourg (as well as, amongst others in
Switzerland, Monaco and the Channel Islands) to deduct tax at
source from the interest generated by fixed yield investments,
instead of exchanging information. The tax at source applies
in particular to interest paid-out on your Internaxx cash account.
Of course, banking secrecy will be maintained in full.
What is the impact of the EU Tax Savings Directive on my Internaxx
account?
As of September 30th 2005, we will deduct the tax at source
directly from the interest credited quarterly to your Internaxx
cash account. Please note that for EU-tax residents (excluding
Luxembourg residents), a withholding tax will be deducted from
interest earned on fixed income funds (and mutual funds impacted
by the EU tax savings directive).
What do I have to provide you with if I am not liable to tax
in one country of the European Union?
In case you are not liable to tax in any of the countries of the
European Union (typically if you are an expatriate living outside
the European Union or a foreigner resident, but not domiciled for
tax purposes in Great-Britain), you are able to avoid the deduction
by simply providing us with one of below documents:
- A tax residence certificate from a country outside of the
European Union.
or
- A residence certificate issued by your local town council,
an Embassy, a Consulate or a Population Office/Registry outside
of the European Union.
or
- A copy of your residence permit from a country outside of
the European Union.
or (in particular for expatriates resident, but not fiscally
domiciled in Great-Britain)
Certification from the tax authority, a notary, a solicitor, a
tax advisor or by a fiduciary certifying your tax-exempt status
in the country where you reside. Please note that the above mentioned
institutions must be officially licensed and registered.
