Professional Clients
To qualify as an Elective Professional Client, individuals must demonstrate the necessary knowledge, experience, and ability to make informed investment decisions and understand the risks involved.
It’s important to note that becoming an Elective Professional Client involves relinquishing certain safeguards provided under business conduct regulations, including eligibility for compensation from the Investor Compensation Fund and the right to lodge complaints with the Financial Ombudsman. Additionally, the increased risk associated with utilizing greater leverage should be carefully considered. Retail Clients who meet specific criteria may apply to be reclassified as Elective Professional Clients, as detailed in our Client Categorization Policy.
For those interested in being considered as a Professional Client, there are two paths available: completing our Request Form or submitting an Application for Professional Clients available on our website.
