4. Client Money and Asset Protection

Greenwealth holds investor funds in segregated client money accounts in accordance with the FSRA Client Assets Rulebook (CASS). Key features of our client money arrangements are:

  • Investor funds are held in one or more designated client money accounts at an FSRA-approved or UAE Central Bank-regulated credit institution;
  • Client money is legally segregated from Greenwealth's own funds and cannot be used to satisfy Greenwealth's operating expenses or creditor claims;
  • Investor funds are only transferred to project owners upon successful completion of a fundraising round; and
  • In the event of Greenwealth's insolvency, client money will be distributed to investors in accordance with the CASS Rules under the supervision of a Resolution Administrator.
WARNING

Client money segregation reduces but does not eliminate the risk of loss in the event of Greenwealth's insolvency. The credit institution holding client money may itself become insolvent. Investor funds held in client money accounts are not covered by any UAE or ADGM deposit protection scheme.
