Client Acceptance Policy. Merit Capital has developed and implemented a Client acceptance policy tailored to its business. This enables it, in establishing a business relationship with every type of Client or performing transactions for Clients, to conduct a prior investigation into the reputational risks linked to the profile of the Client and to the nature of the business relationship or the desired transaction. The financial instruments offered or recommended by Merit Capital have also been assessed as to whether they meet the needs of our Clients of our identified target group. This policy applies identically, regardless of whether a business relationship is established or an occasional transaction is carried out. The Client acceptance policy provides for, among other things: • The attribution of the power of decision regarding the establishment of a business relationship or the execution of a transaction to an appropriate hierarchical level (in this case the Compliance Officer), taking into account the magnitude of those risks; • A risk scale on the basis of which Clients are classified into risk categories; • A description of the measures that Merit Capital will take in the event of an increased risk of money laundering or terrorist financing; • A description of the situations in which and conditions under which exemptions and deviations from the normal rules are permissible; • In addition, the policy here forms part of the “integrity policy” that senior management, under the supervision of the board of directors, has developed and updates on a regular basis.
