Dear Client,

On October 5, 2021, new rules (Design and Distribution Obligations) come into effect. They require product issuers and distributors to place consumers at the centre of product design and distribution. According to these rules, product issuers have to provide a Target Market Determination (TMD) for the financial products they offer to retail clients.

What is a Target Market Determination (TMD)?
• The class of consumers (target market) suitable for our products based on their trading objectives, financial situation, and needs;
• The distribution conditions ensuring that the consumers acquiring our products belong to our target market.

What is Xtrade’ s product target market?
