Understanding Trade Restrictions

Learn how exclusions, substitutions, and equivalent securities impact trading behavior.

Updated this week

Exclusions

Prevent a security from being purchased or held.

Key controls:

  • Replacement behavior (cash vs reallocate)

  • Handling of existing shares


Substitutions

Replace one security with another during trade generation.

Key behavior:

  • Trades are redirected to the substitute security


Equivalent Securities

Treat multiple securities as interchangeable.

Key benefit:

  • Reduces unnecessary turnover

  • Maintains similar exposure


How They Work Together

  • Restrictions apply at the account level

  • Affect all sleeves

  • Influence how trades are built—not targets themselves
