What are the trading Strategies (Macro Discretionary and Macro Fx?)
They are two trading strategies offered by Saxo UK. They are very high-risk portfolios and are suited only to clients with a very high-risk appetite. Both strategies concentrate on short-term price movements across derivative products including Fx, commodities, and indices.
Why are the fees higher for trading strategies compared to Equity and ETF portfolios?
The trading strategies have a far higher trading frequency than equity and ETF portfolios. This is because the trader’s aim is to exploit short-term price movements across different asset classes. In addition, the trading strategies charge a quarterly performance fee for positive returns above the high-water mark.

Equity and ETF portfolios are long-term and will change positions less frequently, thereby incurring fewer trading costs.
