Compensation Fund

The mission of the Compensation Fund is to arrange the payment of compensation to clients of securities traders in cases where traders are unable to meet their duty to release assets to clients. The Compensation Fund is not a government-run institution. Its assets are made up of contributions paid by securities traders.

Insured Assets

The Compensation Fund pays compensation for 90% of the value of non-released assets up to the equivalent of EUR 20,000. Compensation is calculated based on the value of assets on the day when the Compensation Fund receives the relevant notice of the Czech National Bank.

Compensation Claim

If a trader is unable to meet his commitments to clients, the Compensation Fund publishes a notice announcing the relevant facts. Clients must submit their claims by the legal deadline. Claims are submitted using the "Claim Registration Form".

Payment Process

Compensation from the Compensation Fund must be paid within three months after the verification of a submitted claim and the calculation of the amount of compensation. The Czech National Bank may extend this deadline in exceptional cases.
