Professional Qualificaition

All,

 

Although the assessment criteria are absolutely correct for the requirements for a "Professional" account to section 3.5.3 paragraph 1 of the FCA code of conduct, the application process does not take into account subsequent paragraph 3 where it states that a client can request to be "elected" as a professional client.

 

It should also be noted that the Code of Business is not intended to protect the retail investor and clearly offers the retailer a way of "opting out" of these protections, the role of the broker is to undertake due diligence in assuring that the retailer is aware of the risks.

 

The effect of ESMA is that I am going to have to de-versify my portfolio and present my portfolio with a greater risk to meet the margin requirements (which is contrary to it's desired effect). If IG can leverage paragraph 3 requirements to accommodate long term and profitable clients, this would give IG a significant lead in the market place.

 

I don't wish to change my diversification strategy (I've been profitable for twelve straight years).

 

[MOD EDIT: please refrain from posting personal details as this goes against our terms of service]

    • I'm very impressed with the way DOGE triumphed in the market over the years. Could CATE replicate that? Btw, will invest with some bucks that I'm willing to sacrifice.
    • In a bearish crypto market, one effective strategy for holders to safeguard and grow their portfolios is through earning campaigns on exchanges. These campaigns provide opportunities to earn passive income, even when prices are down. Exchanges like Bitget, Binance, and Coinbase are increasingly introducing new staking options and flexible savings plans that let users earn interest on their holdings. By diversifying across different earning programs, you can reduce risk while enjoying returns without the need for active trading.  Moreover, earning campaigns often foster a sense of community, encouraging collaboration and knowledge sharing. For instance, the recent "Double Your Profit & Cover Your Losses" campaign, featuring a $25,000 prize pool, has been a valuable opportunity for participants to soften the impact of the bear market. Personally, I've joined this campaign, and the market seems to be picking up. In essence, staying informed and participating in these campaigns can help you maintain steady income and ride out market volatility, positioning yourself for long-term gains.
    • So many hype on $CATE in the industry. The token is already up by 18% since this announcement. The tokenomics looks ok
