Calamos Financial Services does not tolerate money laundering and supports the fight against money launders. Financial Services follows the guidelines set by the Germany’s joint money laundering steering group. The Germany’s is a full member of the Financial Action Task Force(FATF), the intergovernmental body whose purpose is to combat money laundering and terrorist financing.
Calamos Financial Services now has policies in place to deter people from laundering money.
These policies include:
Money laundering occurs when funds from an illegal/criminal activity are moved through the financial system in such a way as to make it appear that the funds have come from legitimate sources.
Money Laundering Usually follows three stages:
Firstly, cash or cash equivalents are placed into the financial system.
Secondly, money is transferred or moved to other accounts, through a series of financial transactions designed to obscure the origin of the money.
And finally, the funds are re-introduced into the economy so that the funds appear to have come from legitimate sources (e.g. closing a futures account and transferring the funds to a bank account).
Trading accounts are one vehicle that can be used to launder illicit funds or to hide the true owner of the funds. In particular, a trading account can be used to execute financial transactions that help obscure the origins of the funds
Calamos Financial Services direct funds withdrawal back to the original source of remittance, as a preventive measure.
International Anti-money Laundering requires financial services institutions to be aware of potential money laundering abuses that could occur in a customer account and implement a compliance program to deter, detect and report potential suspicious activity.
These guidelines have been implemented to protect Calamos Financial Services and its clients.

HOW DOES CFD TRADING WORK
CFD or Contract for Difference trading requires you to predict the rise or fall of various market; Forex, commodities, stocks and indices. You don't actually purchase the assets, instead you enter a contract between you and the broker. Let's say you want to trade on the outcome of the UK FTSE 100 and you expect it to rise. You enter the contract at the current price of the FTSE 100 and then when you are ready to exit the difference in price (the spread) is what you get paid on.
You can buy multiple contracts which then multiplies the spread by the number of contracts you buy. This is your profit.
In order to maximize you return on Investment (ROI) profit, you need to ensure that you are trading on a reliable platform with a good trading company. There is much to consider when choosing a trading company/platform.
