Client segmentation (FinSA)

FinSA sorts clients into three categories: retail, professional and institutional. Retail clients get the widest protection (information, suitability checks, documentation). Under conditions, a wealthy client can waive part of that protection (opting out) and, conversely, a professional client can ask to be treated as a retail client (opting in).
