REDUCED PROTECTION

Reduced trading restrictions

Please read the following information carefully and take note that as a professional client you will be entitled to fewer protections under the Law than you would be entitled to as a retail client.

Leverage on CFDs

Leverage restrictions applicable to retail clients do not apply to professionals. But remember, with increased leverage comes increased risk.

Disclosure

We can use more sophisticated language when talking to our professional clients. However, we’ll always communicate in a clear, fair and not misleading way.

Knowledge and experience

We may assume that your level of knowledge and experience when assessing whether our products are appropriate for you

Investor Compensation Fund (‘ICF’)

You will not be entitled to compensation under the ICF for clients of Cypriot Investment Firms, as available for retail clients.

Please note that some protections will remain unchanged. These include aspects such as Best Execution, Trade Confirmations and availability of Key Information Documents, which we see as key to provide you with the optimal trading experience.
