Tier classification follows the same scale as the retail register: tier-2 means real supervision and client-money segregation, without an investor compensation scheme — never misread it as tier-1 protection.

Perimeter and coverage

Asset classesVenuesConnectivityClients acceptedExplicitly refused
FX, CFDs, Multi-asset liquidityInstitutional investors and businesses (own positioning), EU/EEA clients via SM Capital Markets Ltd (CySEC-regulated entity)

A firm that publishes its own negative space — who it refuses, where it is not licensed — is materially easier to assess than one that doesn't. The refusal list is treated here as disclosure, not as a defect.
