Tier classification follows the same scale as the retail register: tier-2 means real supervision and client-money segregation, without an investor compensation scheme. Rows without a tier are recorded without classification rather than guessed.
Where the published model fits
- Banks seeking institutional FX liquidity
- Asset managers trading across asset classes
- Hedge funds requiring electronic access
Watch for
- Self-measured claims on volume growth
- Limits of Tier-1 licence in Switzerland
UBS Neo, operated by UBS AG, offers a comprehensive FX liquidity solution across various asset classes. The platform is supported by multiple trading venues and advanced connectivity options. However, the self-measured claims regarding volume growth and liquidity depth should be approached with caution, given the absence of independent verification.
