Client Assets & Client Money

Businesses authorised to undertake financial services in the UK may hold money on behalf of their customers, or have custody of financial assets which belong to customers. These customer-owned funds or assets are known as ‘client assets’.

Meeting with Clients

Financial services customers need to feel safe entrusting their assets to regulated financial services businesses. This includes knowing that, if a regulated business fails, client assets can be readily segregated from assets owned by the firm and be promptly returned to customers. For this reason, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has made dedicated rules to protect client assets held by regulated firms.

​

Protecting client assets can be a complex area requiring your business to establish robust procedures and undertake regular oversight and monitoring. Compliance Matters UK are available to provide advice and support for regulated firms (both large and small) on establishing effective protection for your client assets and complying with your regulatory obligations.
