Protections
A number of FCA Rules do not apply, or only partially apply to Elective Professional Clients, including the below:
Risk
We are not obliged to ensure that you understand the nature of any risks involved in any specific investments or transactions that you undertake with us as an Elective Professional Client. We will assume that you are in a position to judge the type and degree of risk attached to the various types of investments.
Leverage caps
Rules limiting leverage do not apply to Professional Clients, meaning the risk of losing your money rapidly due to leverage is increased.
Communicating with clients, including financial promotions
As an Elective Professional Client the way in which we communicate with you may be different from the way in which we would communicate with a client which is categorised as a “retail client” (Retail Client) for the purposes of FCA Rules. While we must still ensure that our communications with you are fair, clear and not misleading we may determine this with regard to the nature of an Elective Professional Client.
Financial Ombudsman Service and Financial Services Compensation Scheme
As a result of a re-categorisation as a Professional Client, you may lose the right of access to the Financial Ombudsman Service (see DISP 2.7.9 in the FCA Rules). Access to the FOS will not extend to all professional clients (only those that meet the FCA Handbook definition of a consumer) and may therefore not extend to you.
The FSCS compensation fund designed by the UK government to act as a ‘safety net’ only covers retail clients and small businesses if they’ve been clients of a financial services firm which becomes insolvent.
Negative balance protection
The rules limiting your liability to the funds in your trading account only apply to Retail Clients. This means that Professional Clients can lose more than the funds they deposit to their trading account.
