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.
Our COBS for Client Categorisation Course explains the FCA Conduct of Business Rules for client categorisation in the investment business.
This SCORM-compatible course is part of our FCA Compliance Library.
The library is available in the Skillcast Standard plan for larger companies or Skillcast Basic plan for those with under 50 learners.
