Order types and Order handling

Algorithmic orders are available for both Cash Stocks and Single Stock CFDs. Essentially, Algorithmic orders provide clients with the opportunity to trade through various strategies with larger ticket sizes that may otherwise impact the market price. They can also break down an order in smaller bites to avoid showing the full size of their order. This may be of particular interest for clients trading Stocks and Single Stock CFDs outside of the most liquid names. The following algorithmic order types are offered:

  • VWAP
  • TWAP
  • With Volume
  • Implementation Shortfall
  • Pre-Market Limit
  • Iceberg
  • Reload
  • Dark
  • Liquidity Seeking

Certain exchanges do not support Market orders. If a client places a market order in these markets, Saxo Bank will automatically convert the order to an aggressive Limit order within a certain percentage limit “in the money”.

The Percentage Limit varies between 1% and 4% depending on the exchange and the type of instrument. Please note that it is a client’s responsibility to check if the order is filled in the market after order entry.

If you experience or suspect any errors with your order, you should contact Saxo Bank immediately.

In addition, some of our execution brokers may choose to convert Market orders on certain exchanges into aggressive limit orders 3% “in the money”. This is due to their internal compliance and is intended to protect clients from unintentionally moving the market.

Saxo Bank will not be responsible for missing fills due to this.

Saxo Bank supports the placement of market orders while the market is closed. As the market may open at a very different price from where it closed, this could lead to shares being bought for more cash than is available in your account.

To minimise this risk, the system will calculate an additional cash buffer that must be available in order to place market orders to buy shares. Should the order placement be rejected a limit order may be attempted instead as the limit price will provide a maximum purchase price.

In general, Saxo Bank consolidates liquidity from a number of sources in addition to the primary exchange to improve the execution price for our clients. However, when there is a delay in the opening of a listing on the primary exchange, orders sent prior to the opening uncross will only participate on the primary exchange until trading commences. Other sources of liquidity (secondary venues, dark pools, MTFs etc.) are utilized post primary market open.

Please note, you may see streaming prices inside the trading platform before the primary exchange is open depending on your data subscription. However, market orders, stop orders or aggressive limit orders submitted prior to the open, will not be filled until the opening print from the primary exchange.

In case an order regarding a security is split, and filled partially over a period of more than one day, the total trading costs may increase. The reason for such increase is that the minimum fee may be charged more than one time based on the number of days necessary for the total execution of the order.

Saxo Bank passes on to clients the SEC Section 31 fee of USD 27.80 per million effective 22 May 2024 on US exchange CFD DMA and stock SELL transactions where client orders are entered directly into the underlying market. This fee only applies to US exchanges.

For more information please read press release published by the US Securities and Exchange Commission.

Section 871(m) of the US Internal Revenue Code classifies some payments from US equity derivatives and other linked instruments as “dividend equivalent amounts” (DEA), and therefore subject to a withholding tax. Saxo will book such withholding tax to your account (where applicable).

Note: As the above is applicable to certain instruments only, you are encouraged to do your own due diligence or obtain independent tax advice in respect of any transactions that you make via Saxo.

Corporate action handling

Termination: For securities classified as “depository receipts” conversion and termination events are announced as per information from the agent. As per event terms, client’s holding depository receipt are given opportunity to convert their holdings into common shares to the subjective issuer.

These events are offered in specific markets as per service terms where applicable. However, the event will only be offered for participation in supported markets. In such cases, where the conversion into common shares are not offered, the information will be included in the event notification. To participate in the event, clients should consult with their financial advisor.

Conversion: Corporate actions offer only final conversion opportunity (termination event) to clients.

Additional Stocks are allocated on Ex-date based on the eligible holding on ex-date-1 and will be available for trading, post value date upon receipt from agent.

Cash payment for dividend is allocated on Pay date for all shareholders.

Corporate actions events may result in entitlements in the product which cannot be supported. In case of such entitlements, an information only event will be advised to move the resultant entitlements to another broker upon receipt. Saxo Bank do not hold any liability on any losses or compliance arising. Saxo Bank advise clients to read the documents for the terms and conditions of the offer.

Currency options are not extended to clients. When a currency option is announced within the framework of an event, the payment will be processed as per the denominated currency of the security listing.

Cash dividends related to stock positions are booked on pay date based on the eligible holding on ex-date-1. Dividend payments from Stock positions will be credited with any applicable withholding taxes deducted.

It is standard practice for US depositary receipts to charge an annual administration fee per depository receipt, depending on the issuing depositary bank. The intention of the fee is to cover costs for banks that take on operational processes necessary, to issue and trade the depositary receipt line. Typically, the fee is deducted when dividend payments are made, however, in case the depositary receipt does not pay a dividend or did not include the custodial fee in their dividend events, the fee will be administered through fee-only events. 

The dividend fee is stipulated in the Deposit Agreement between the depositary bank and the company based upon industry standards. The Deposit Agreement is filed with the SEC and is readily accessible by the public. 

The fee per depositary receipt is not dependent on the total amount of dividend being paid but the amount of Stocks held.

Saxo Bank will look to pass on these fees once the fee structure is applied.

Some issuers offer an alternative to cash by way of a dividend reinvestment plan (DRIP) or scrip issue of shares.

DRIPs are a reinvestment of the cash dividend and the price can only be calculated on the actual date of purchase. Distribution of stock takes place later. DRIPs are subject to commissions and other market charges. Clients will be offered options according to the agent. Based on the offered options, clients may elect to have their dividends reinvested or to receive the dividends in the form of cash. Partial elections cannot be accepted. 

Cash entitlements are booked on pay date.

Stock entitlements can take up to 10 business days after the cash pay date to be received. The number of additional shares will be calculated as follows:

  • The number of shares elected multiplied by net dividend rate (gross rate – applicable tax) divided by Reinvestment Price. 
Cash will be paid in lieu of fractional shares if applicable. 

Corporate actions events are announced in different markets whereby documents and beneficial owner details may be required. In such cases, Saxo Bank will specify the information in the event notification, to advise the client of the additional requirements to fulfil by the stated deadline. Clients are advised to refer to the event notification details. All documents are shared with clients on a separate email where applicable. Clients are advised to check with their advisor, for legal and compliance matters.

In the event of missing or incomplete documents, client instructions may be rejected. No liability will be accepted in the event of missing or incomplete documents.

In such cases, clients are advised to respond to the original email which will be provided by Saxo Bank, with the additional requirements stipulated. Any deviation from the original email may result in delay or non-acceptance of the documents / instructions.

For exchange offers, customers holding a position in their portfolio will have the possibility to elect prior to the deadline. Please note that any holdings that have elected to exchange, will be debited on the instruction deadline date and will be booked on a dummy security (represented by a LOCK  symbol). This is to prevent elected holdings from being sold before the payment date. The exchange entitlement will be booked upon receipt from the agent.

In the case where scale back of exchange occurs, holdings not accepted will be unblocked and proceeds for the accepted exchange instructions will be booked upon receipt from the agent.

In corporate actions, issuers may announce to offer resultant entitlements in different markets. In such cases, resultant entitlements first should be transferred and registered in the respective markets and after that will be available for trading. Such movements may take additional time. During the transfer period client entitlements will be blocked for trading.

Holdings in the liquidated company will be removed. Liquidation proceeds, if any, will be allocated upon receipt.

Liquidation proceeds are processed in three different forms:

  • Worthless removal of holdings: If the issuer announces the liquidation it may process the removal of the holdings without any proceeds. There is no guarantee of payment in case of liquidation.
  • Partial removal of holdings with payment: Issuer may announce to remove the holdings partially, with proceeds calculated and determined in the meetings or by the court if applicable.
  • Complete removal of holdings with payment: Issuer may announce to remove the complete holdings, with proceeds calculated and determined in the meetings or by the court as applicable.

Mandatory corporate action events are processed on ex-date and which result in tradeable entitlement. However, in some cases pay date of the event is not confirmed or beyond the tradeable cycle. In such cases, Saxo will process the entitlement to a dummy security to block the trading. Resultant entitlements will be booked to clients accounts as soon as received from agent.

Clients have the right to vote on certain corporate matters, voting can have an impact on the companies strategy and therefore its value.

Information about general meetings will be provided to all clients including those who do not intend to vote.

Rights issues are a two-step event. Step one - Rights distribution and step two - Subscription. Under rights distribution, rights get distributed to clients based on holdings as at ex-date - 1. Rights can be transferable or non-transferable.

Transferable rights, also known as renounceable (tradeable) rights, are issued to existing shareholders and can be traded in the open market.

Non-transferable or non-renounceable rights cannot be bought or sold due to being non-transferable.

Clients can choose to sell the rights or subscribe to new stock. If Saxo Bank does not receive a response from clients by the reply deadline date stipulated, rights will be sold on best effort basis on behalf of the client before they expire. The proceeds from the sale will be distributed to clients, less standard commission for the account. This is to assist in the prevention of rights being worthless when they expire. Please note that the trading of rights is being supported up to the client’s deadline date. Please note that this is done for positions only worth more than Euro 30 per client but is not offered for APAC listed securities and rights held on the Portuguese and Belgium market.

In case clients wish to subscribe in the offer, they should ensure to instruct in the multiple(s) advised in the notification. Failure to comply will result in the rejection of instructions and clients will not be notified of the rejection.

For some Rights issues, there is the possibility to oversubscribe. To do so, the client must take up their full entitlement to the ordinary rights.

Oversubscription may be subject to scale back.

Clients should ensure that the account where positions are booked to, are funded sufficiently with the relevant cash on the same day of instructions submission to exercise and or oversubscribe. This cash should continue to remain available on the chosen account at time of electing, until the Saxo instruction deadline. In case of insufficient cash, instructions will be rejected without prior notification.

Where clients have multiple sub-accounts the cash must be held on the sub-account where the position is booked to, from the date and time of instruction submission until the Saxo instruction deadline date. In the event of insufficient cash on the correct sub-account, instructions will be rejected without prior notification.

Subscription costs will be debited on the instruction deadline date and the resultant entitlement will be booked to a dummy security.

The new entitlement will be booked upon receipt from the agent.

If the rights are non-tradable, they will lapse and become worthless.

For rights issues where a temporary line is paid upon subscription, the temporary line will be moved into the ordinary line via a Pari Passu event.

Should issuer pay lapse/bookbuild proceeds on unexercised rights then, clients will be credited accordingly.
