What FSA protection means

General facts about the regime. What applies to you depends on the licensed entity and your client category.

  • Licensed dealers are subject to Seychelles securities law and FSA supervision.
  • There is typically no investor compensation scheme for clients of a Seychelles-licensed dealer.
  • Leverage and marketing are often less restricted than under UK or EU rules, and cross-border redress can be slow.

Offshore licensing. Licensing regimes often aimed at clients outside the jurisdiction. Usually no investor compensation scheme, lighter rules and a harder route to redress.
