How clients are categorisedClient classification explains the difference between retail clients, professional clients and eligible counterparties.→
Most individual clients are treated as retail clients, which gives the highest level of investor protection under UK rules.
- Clients may ask for a different categorisation where appropriate
- The category can affect information, protections and regulatory requirements
- Clients should notify the firm if circumstances change in a way that could affect categorisation
