The Conduct of Business Sourcebook (COBS) applies to financial firms in the UK that deal with client investments. COBS rules cover client categorisation.
Client categorisation is based on the client's level of sophistication. This classification determines the degree of regulatory protection the client is entitled to and the types of investment products they can be offered.
