Statutory Custody & Segregation

European investment banking custody standards applied to every depository relationship. Your assets are never on our balance sheet, never commingled with operating capital, and never available to creditors.

Eligible client cash balances covered up to €100,000 per person under the Portuguese Investor Compensation Scheme (CIG) in accordance with Directive 97/9/EC.

Segregated Accounts Ring-Fenced

All client assets legally segregated in dedicated accounts with licensed credit institutions and central securities depositories — identifiable and retrievable in any resolution scenario.

No Rehypothecation

Client securities, cash, and collateral are never lent, repledged, or rehypothecated. Assets held in custody on a strict bailment basis with daily position attestations.
