Client Assets
Client assets are assets held, controlled or safeguarded by a financial business on behalf of its clients rather than for the business's own economic benefit. The rules governing client assets depend on the jurisdiction and type of institution involved.
Why it matters to you
Investors should understand whether assets supporting an investment are treated separately from the assets of the company providing the service. This can become especially important if that company experiences financial difficulty or insolvency.
