Protection of investor interests

In order to further strengthen the protection of investor interests and make the financial market more stable and transparent, a new regulation entered into force in the European Union on 3 January 2018: the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive 2014/65 / EU (MiFID II) and the Markets in Financial Instruments Regulation no. 600/2014 (MiFIR). It provides stricter requirements for the protection of investor interests.

All clients of  Citadele have been assigned one of three possible statuses, taking into account their characterization, as well as experience and knowledge in transactions in financial instruments and objective of such transactions: private client, professional client or eligible counterparty. Depending on the client’s status, relevant degree protection applies. Client protection measures include, inter alia, assessment of the suitability of an investment service and compliance thereof with the client’s interests.

In order to avoid possible conflicts of interest, which may arise during the course of provision of investment services, Citadele has developed and introduced the Policy on the prevention conflict of interest while rendering investment services / ancillary services.

Executing transactions in financial instruments on behalf of the client, bank Citadele follows the Order Execution Policy in the Provision of Investment Services.
