英国经纪商提供“客户资金隔离”并不是强制执行的,一个英国上市公司外汇主管的原话”We can only segregate fund for retail clients as directedby the FSA. If this is your wish then there is added cost of $3pm for real/truesegregation. ( Some brokers may be quite elusive and possibly misleading about ‘true segregated funds’. It is worth remembering that a segregated account can justbe set up as a sub account of an account already in the name of the broker – inthis instance and in the case of bankruptcy the funds are still in the name ofthe company and therefore the creditors would have first claim on them!!“ ,我对此理解是:只针对retail clients(而不是专业人士),FSA才强制执行隔离账户。因为开户的时候,如果不选择“professional”,就无法开户!
我email问过FSCS官网,外汇保证金账户是否受FSCS保护,也要具体咨询经纪商,才能确定!
