Institutional comparison of statutory investor compensation schemes, daily client-asset segregation rules, and multi-dimensional counterparty risk scores across Sovereign Tax Atlas's 2026 coverage universe.
No. Statutory schemes such as UK FSCS (£85,000), US SIPC ($500,000), and EU ICF (€20,000) only trigger when an authorised firm becomes insolvent and cannot return segregated client money or securities.
Client-money segregation requires an institution to hold customer deposits in ring-fenced statutory trust accounts at independent banks or qualified custodians, preventing creditors from seizing client assets if the firm fails.
Verified regulatory warnings, withdrawal-blocked dockets, and execution manipulation complaints directly penalize the 25%-weighted Risk Telemetry dimension in Sovereign Tax Atlas's 6D Compliance Score.
Generally no. Even if a parent financial group holds an FCA, SEC, or CySEC licence elsewhere, accounts opened under an offshore subsidiary (e.g., Seychelles, Mauritius, BVI, or St. Vincent) do not qualify for onshore statutory compensation.
