Important information in view of Alphabet's stock split

On 18 July 2022, Alphabet will have its stocks go through a split. A stock split is a corporate action, as a result of which the company increases the number of issued shares by a specific multiplier and reduces the value of each share by the same multiplier. Google will conduct a 20-for-1 stock split (1 share will be split into 20).

How will this affect positions and orders?

If you have open positions in Alphabet shares or plan to open such positions, please pay attention to the following changes, which will be effective as of 18 July 2022:
