Who holds my assets?
Your investments are held by the Stichting Noordnederlandse Beleggersgiro. This custodian is an entirely separate legal entity. Its sole task is to administer and safeguard your investments. By law it cannot perform any commercial activities. It is overseen by an independent board, and it is supervised by both the AFM (the Dutch finance regulator) and the DNB (the Dutch national bank).
Learn the intricacies of how the custodian safeguards your assets.
How does the European Investor Protection Scheme work?
The main goal of the European regulatory framework for investment firms is to protect consumers such as yourself. For instance, it makes sure that:
- there's a separation between your assets and those of the investment firm
- your assets are held by a separate entity (the custodian)
- potential irregularities are detected early on through strict oversight
Before the EU introduced the European Investor Protection Scheme, there were cases where fraudulent behaviour by investment firms went undetected and customers suffered losses. The scheme protects up to €20,000 of your investments against fraud and embezzlement, and it applies to all European customers of an investment firm, including you. Investing in the stock market does carry a risk as investments can go up and down and this scheme does not cover losses due to a market downturn.
