At ActivTrades PLC, we aim to always treat all our customers fairly. Our customers will be provided with clear information about our products and service and kept appropriately informed before, during and after the point of sale. We will ensure our level of product and service performance will meet the expectations of our clients as far as reasonably possible. We will also ensure that there is no barrier for customers to express their requests, concerns and complaints and we will endeavour to be responsive to them.

ActivTrades PLC has a robust and regularly reviewed Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP). Our regulator, The Financial Conduct Authority, has strongly endorsed the recommendations of the Basel II accord. This includes the strictly maintained minimum capital requirement of 8% for any net foreign exchange exposure. Historically, ActivTrades PLC has maintained capital and reserves at a level far greater than has been prescribed by our regulator. The Company regards this as the key measure of our security.
Spread betting and CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. 74% of retail investor accounts lose money when spread betting and/or trading CFDs with this provider. You should consider whether you understand how spread betting and CFDs work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money.
Limited Risk Accounts are compulsory for clients residing in France and provide added protection when placing CFD transactions. The protection ensures your risk of loss does not exceed the initial amount invested, meaning loss is limited solely to the margin required to open a position.
