2.2. Retail Clients

2.2.1. Classification as a Retail Client

An Authorised Firm must classify as a Retail Client any Client that is not a Professional Client or a Market Counterparty.

2.2.2. Authorised Firm may choose to treat any Person as a Retail Client

An Authorised Firm may choose to provide Financial Products or Financial Services to any Person as a Retail Client simply by classifying that Person as a Retail Client. If the Authorised Firm classifies the Person as a Retail Client in this way, it will not be required to assess whether that Person would otherwise be classified as a Professional Client or a Market Counterparty.
