Managerial, administrative staff of the Company and shareholders of the Company are not covered clients too. There are as well many more categories of investors who are not covered clients.
Aim of the Fund
The objective of the Fund is to protect claims of covered clients against the broker. Thus, if the broker fails to fulfill its obligations, it has to provide compensation for their claims, emerging from covered services.
Procedure for Initiating the Compensation Payment
There are several cases in which the fund will provide a compensation payment. One of them is in case the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission has identified that the Company is not capable of fulfilling its obligations emerging from its investors-clients’ claims, in connection with the covered services it has provided, so long as such failure is directly connected to the Company’s financial position that has no realistic perspective of enhancement in the near future.
Amount of Payable Compensation
The amount of compensation payable is calculated for every customer according to the contractual and legal terms managing the relation of the covered customer and the Company, in accordance with the set used to calculate claims between the covered customer and the Company. At the present time, any claimant may receive up to €20,000 as a compensation.
