• How does the additional insurance work?

  The UK FSCS covers the shortfall to the extent of GBP 85,000 per client. Ultimateexperttrading invests in an additional insurance policy that further covers all FSCS-eligble clients up to GBP 1,000,000 per client.

  In the event of Ultimateexperttrading being "in default" following a determination made by the FSCS, the insurance company would pay to Ultimateexperttrading for the benefit of its clients, an amount equal to the ultimate net loss of each claimant.

  The maximum amount payable by the insurance policy to Ultimateexperttrading under the policy in respect of any one claimant is GBP 1,000,000.

• How much does the insurance policy cost for clients?

  The insurance policy is free for clients, its costs are entirely borne by Ultimateexperttrading.

• Who is eligible?

  In order to qualify as claimants, Ultimateexperttrading customers with more than GBP 85,000 must:

  • Be Eligible Claimants according to FSCS rules.
  • Submit their claims (including a claim form) to the FSCS within 12 months of the event of default’s date.
  • Submit their Excess of FSCS Claim Form to the Insurance company within 12 months of the event of default’s date.

• How long does it take to receive the withdrawn money?

  The length of time each claim takes to process depends on a number of factors. Ultimateexperttrading’s claims under the insurance policy shall be payable as soon as:

  • The FSCS has finally determined and quantified the overall net claim of each Client.
  • The amount of any distribution to be received by the clients and/or the FSCS from Ultimateexperttrading’s estate has been calculated, determined and accepted by the client and/or the FSCS.
