Pooling:

Assets are held with our appointed banks in a pooled client account.

A pooled client account is an account containing the funds of multiple clients and, therefore, the assets of one client are not physically segregated from those of another.

In the event of default by one of our appointed banks, such a designation may prevent or delay our ability to control your assets.

MidChains performs daily reconciliations between pooled client funds and our internal records.
