Regulation
Skilling provides trading services for a variety of financial instruments, including forex, commodities, indices, and cryptocurrencies. It is regulated by several financial authorities, which helps ensure the safety and security of its clients’ funds and trading environment. The regulations governing Skilling depend on the specific jurisdiction in which it operates.
- Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) - Skilling operates under CySEC with license number 357/18. This regulation allows Skilling to provide financial services across the European Economic Area (EEA) under the MiFID II framework.
- Seychelles Financial Services Authority (FSA) - Skilling is also licensed by the FSA of Seychelles under license number SD042. This regulation gives Skilling the ability to operate in various non-European jurisdictions.
Client Money Protection
Skilling takes several measures to protect its clients' money, in line with its regulatory requirements. These measures ensure that clients' funds are secure and that the broker operates transparently.
- Investor Compensation Fund (ICF): As Skilling is regulated by CySEC, its European clients are covered by the Investor Compensation Fund (ICF). This fund provides compensation to eligible retail clients in the unlikely event that Skilling becomes insolvent or ceases operations. The compensation limit under the ICF is up to €20,000 per client.
- Negative Balance Protection: In certain jurisdictions, such as under FCA (UK) and CySEC (EU) regulations, Pepperstone offers negative balance protection. This ensures that clients cannot lose more than their initial deposit, safeguarding them from extreme market volatility.
- Segregated Client Accounts: Skilling holds client funds in segregated accounts separate from its operational funds. This means that client money cannot be used for company expenses or liabilities. These accounts are typically held with top-tier banks.
- Risk Management and Monitoring: Skilling is required by regulators like CySEC and FCA to monitor and manage its financial risk. This includes maintaining sufficient capital adequacy and ensuring that the company can meet its financial obligations to clients.
