Get startedIn a regulated environment such as Fuxion Access, investors benefit from additional layers of protection and transparency.
The financial system is an integral part of our daily lives. For example, we need banks to hold our money or make payments. Likewise, we need investment firms to invest our money to gain future returns. Poorly regulated financial institutions have the potential to harm consumers and undermine the stability of the financial system. Regulation establishes rules to stop things from going wrong, and in the case that they do, consumers and the financial system are protected by these rules.
Fuxion Access is required to hold investors’ financial instruments and uninvested funds separately from its own assets.
Fuxion Access must keep accurate records and accounts that distinguish all financial instruments and investor funds from any assets owned by Fuxion Access. As part of this, Fuxion Access reconciles its internal records and accounts regularly and takes steps to ensure it has adequate controls to minimize the risk of loss for investors.
Financial instruments belonging to the investors on Fuxion Access are held in the investors’ financial instrument accounts, separately from Fuxion Access’ own assets.
Investors’ funds are protected by holding them in safeguarding accounts in banks licensed in the EU and qualifying money market funds. These funds are only used to execute the investors’ orders to invest or withdraw the funds, or to cover fees and charges payable to Fuxion Access. They are held separately from Fuxion Access' own assets, and creditors of Fuxion Access are not entitled to recover from these funds.

The investor compensation scheme protects investors by providing compensation if Fuxion Access fails to return financial instruments or funds to investors.
The investor compensation scheme covers situations that typically arise from operational errors, for example, if Fuxion Access is involved in fraud or administrative malpractice. The compensation an investor can claim under the investor compensation scheme is limited to Fuxion Access’ outstanding liabilities towards the investor, up to €20 000.
Importantly, the investor compensation scheme doesn’t protect against investment risk, such as poor performance or changes in the price or liquidity of financial instruments.
Investor compensation schemes are established according to Directive 97/9/EC and apply to all authorized investment firms and banks providing investment services in the respective EU country. Fuxion Access is a member of the Latvian investor compensation scheme. The scheme protects retail investors on Fuxion Access irrespective of their country of residence.

The outcome of this assessment determines which products and services will be available to the investor. Investing on Fuxion Access isn’t risk-free, so our offering, for example, wouldn’t be considered suitable for investors who wish to only preserve capital.
