Asset segregation law and investor compensation. Firms providing investment services are required by law to keep their own assets separate from clients' invested assets.

If things then go wrong, their clients' investments are safe in a separate pot. Vive follows the rules of asset segregation.

The Financial Markets Authority monitors Vive's compliance with asset segregation rules. These rules ensure that should Vive go bankrupt, our customers' investments are separated from Vive's assets. As a result, customers' investments do not fall into the bankruptcy estate.

In the unlikely event that a case of fraud and/or mismanagement occurs at Vive and Vive cannot ensure the rules of asset segregation, there is the investor compensation scheme for aggrieved investors.

Investor compensation provides protection of up to EUR 20,000 per person and company.

Do you have a joint and/or investment account with your partner? If so, you are guaranteed a maximum return of EUR 40,000 together.

‍Moreinformation about the investor compensation scheme can be found on the website of De Nederlansche Bank.
