This document sets out the process by which Tier1FX categorizes its clients, in accordance with the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (“MiFID”) and the Investment Services Act, as well as the applicable investment services rules.

MiFID recognizes that investors possess differing levels of financial knowledge and investment expertise and that this requires appropriate and corresponding degrees of regulatory protection.

For this reason, MiFID introduces, in terms of regulatory priority and investor protection, three client investor categories: Retail Clients, Professional Clients (including Elective Professional Clients) and Eligible Counterparties.
