Professional client: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 11:07, 22 July 2015

There is some overlap with the other MiFID categorisations. An elective professional client is a subset of the class of retail clients; an eligible counterparty is a subset of per se professional clients.

There is a handy decision tree in the panel below.

Professional clients: per se professional client | elective professional client
ECPs: per se eligible counterparty | elective eligible counterparty | COBS 1 Annex 1 for disapplication of COBS rules to ECPs
Retail client: See COBS 3.4: one who is not a professional client or an ECP
