How to be classified as a professional client?

How to be classified as a professional client?

To be classified as a professional client, you need to hold an account with TIOmarkets and meet at least two of the criteria below:

  1. You have carried out transactions, in significant size, on the relevant market at an average frequency of 10 per quarter over the previous four quarters.
  2. You have a financial instrument portfolio, including cash deposits and financial instruments, exceeding EUR 500,000.
  3. You work or have worked in the financial sector for at least one year in a professional position, which requires knowledge of the transactions or services in CFDs and their associated risks.

What counts as significant size transactions?

  • €10,000 notional trade value for equities and ETFs; or
  • €50,000 notional trade value for forex, indices and commodities.

You will need to provide supporting documentation for the criteria above as no application for professional client status will be accepted without these:

  • For relevant transactions: PDF copies of your transaction statement with an investment firm. If the transactions of significant size are with TIOmarkets you do not need to provide copies of your statements.
  • For financial Instrument portfolio: Bank statements or portfolio summaries of trading accounts, cash savings, stock portfolios or mutual funds.
  • For professional experience: Professional resume, copy of your employment agreement, signed employment confirmation letter, payslip, etc.
