As part of our policy of treating customers fairly, we may decide, either as result of the Law, any other regulatory Directive or guidance note or under internal policy, to sub categorize Retail clients, into such categories as Experienced Retail Clients and Less Experienced Retail Clients. Such subcategories do not affect the classification or protections afforded under the Law. Such subcategories will however be subject to the benefits or restrictions we may place in order to further enhance the protection of clients. They may include restrictions to leverage levels, margin requirements, specific risk warning acknowledgment etc. Relevant details will at all times be included in our Investment Services Agreement.

Retail Clients. As a Retail Client you enjoy the greatest protection with rules and regulations imposed by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) designed to ensure you are given every opportunity and assistance when trading in financial markets. Under rules introduced by ESMA, which all FCA regulated firms must adhere to by 1st August 2018, a Retail Client has Negative Balance Protection (NBP) meaning they cannot lose more than they have deposited with a broker. The funds they deposit are also segregated into Client Trust accounts with banks, ensuring the safekeeping of their money in case of anything adverse happening to the broker, as this is kept separate from the brokers own funds. In addition to that, Retail Clients are also protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) which will step in with up to £85,000 per client in the rare instance where if a broker fails that not all the correct amount of client money has been segregated. Retail Clients also have access to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) who in the event of a dispute with a broker will intervene, look at the facts and pass judgement. However, in an attempt to ensure that inexperienced traders to not lose too much money, the regulators have imposed restrictions on the leverage that Retail Clients can be offered, which limits the size of trades they can make based on their deposits [see Axi Product Schedules]. The level at which Retail Client losing positions will be automatically closed by online trading platforms is set at a higher level than for those of Professional Clients. Also, certain bonuses and other incentives previously offered to some Retail Clients are no longer allowed as this was seen by the regulators as an inducement to attempt to get Retail Clients to actively trade. Professional clients are not subject to the same restrictions placed upon Retail clients but as a consequence they are not afforded the same level of protection and could lose more money. So, to ensure a client who requests to be classified as a Professional Client fully understands the consequences of their decision, they must satisfy certain criteria and sign a form listing the downside of this classification. Professional clients with Axi are divided into two categories: • Professional Segregated • Professional Unsegregated As the name suggests, this states how client money is treated by Axi, and most clients will come under the Professional Segreg...

Retail Clients. As a Retail Client you enjoy the greatest protection with rules and regulations imposed by the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission and the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) designed to ensure you are given every opportunity and assistance when trading in financial markets. Under requirements imposed by CySEC with Directive DI87-07, all CySEC regulated firms must provide their Retail Clients with Negative Balance Protection (NBP), meaning they cannot lose more than the total sum invested for trading in CFDs. The Clients’ funds will be kept in bank accounts denominated as Clients’ funds and will be clearly segregated from the Company’s own funds, ensuring the safekeeping of the Clients’ money in case of anything adverse happening to the broker, as this is kept separate from the brokers own funds. In addition to that, Retail Clients are also protected by the Investor Compensation Fund (ICF) which will step in with up to EUR20,000 or 90% of the covered investor’s claim (whichever is lower) per client, in the rare instance where a broker fails to keep clients’ funds segregated. In accordance with the Applicable Laws and Regulations regarding the restriction on the marketing, distribution or sale of CFDs, the Company offers clients with margin close-out protection. In particular, margin close-out protection means the closure of one or more of a retail client’s open CFDs on terms most favourable to the client when the sum of funds in the Trading Account and the unrealized net profits of all open CFDs connected to the Trading Account falls to less than 50% of the total initial margin for all those open CFDs. Also, certain bonuses and other incentives previously offered to some Retail Clients are no longer allowed as this was seen by the regulators as an inducement to attempt to get Retail Clients to actively trade. The main feature of CFDs is their ability to operate on leverage. In general, whilst leverage can increase the possible profit for clients, it can also increase the possible losses. The Cyprus Product Intervention Measures applicable to Retail Clients, introduced leverage limits on the opening of a position from 30:1 to 2:1, which vary according to the volatility of the Underlying Asset, and particularly: • 30:1 for major currency pairs; • 20:1 for non-major currency pairs, gold and major indices; • 10:1 for commodities other than gold and non-major equity indices; and
