The German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) is increasing transparency for retail investors when trading highly speculative leveraged products.
The German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) is increasing transparency for retail investors when trading highly speculative leveraged products.
BaFin’s product intervention measure restricts the marketing, distribution, and sale of Turbo certificates to retail investors in Germany.
BaFin will accept comments on its planned product intervention measure on Turbos until July 3, 2025.
Due to the underlying leverage of turbo certificates, retail investors can invest just a fraction of the stock price to get exposure.
Italy’s Consob says there are no conditions for adopting on a national basis intervention measures similar to those undertaken by the AFM.
IG’s new office will service the Dutch retail investment market with a particular focus on turbo certificates.
