Account Funding

You may fund your account by wire transfer, check, a deposit of Treasury securities or, in some cases, a deposit of equity securities. Please be aware that the originating account for any wire transfer, check or securities transfer must have identical ownership to the ownership of your RCG account. RCG will not accept any deposit of funds from an account in a name other than the name on your RCG account.

Funding by Wire Transfer

  • If you are wiring U.S. dollars, the instructions are:

    Harris Trust & Savings Bank

  • If you are wiring non-U.S. currency, click here for wire instructions for each currency. Please note that it is very important to wire non-U.S. currency according to the instructions for non-U.S. currency. If non-U.S. funds are wired to RCG's U.S. dollar account, the funds will be converted automatically by the bank to U.S. dollars at the bank's prevailing exchange rate.

Funding by Check

If you are funding your account by a personal, cashier or certified check, please make the check payable to "Rosenthal Collins Group". Please mail your check to your broker or to the RCG Treasury Department at 216 W. Jackson Blvd., Suite 400, Chicago, IL 60606, and also include your RCG account number on the "Memo" line. Please do NOT mail your check directly to RCG's account at Harris Bank.

For your protection and ours, you may be restricted from trading until confirmed funds have been received by our bank. In some cases, it may take as long as 10 days for RCG's bank to confirm the funds on checks drawn on banks outside Illinois.

Funding with U.S. Treasury Securities

If you are funding your account with a deposit of U.S. Treasury securities, the transfer instructions are as follows:

The risk of loss in trading futures and options can be substantial, therefore only genuine "risk" funds should be used in such trading. Futures and options may not be a suitable investment for all individuals and individuals should carefully consider their financial condition in deciding whether to trade. Option traders should be aware that the exercise of a long option will result in a futures position.
