Compliance, Regulation and Licences
How does Systems2follow operate within the laws and regulations and what protection do you have as a client?
How is Systems2follow Organized?
Systems2follow is a Dutch company that offers algorithmic trading systems and the associated subscription services. The Systems2follow model is fundamentally different from that of a traditional asset manager: we do not manage money on behalf of clients. We simply copy trades to their own brokerage accounts.
Your capital – your responsibility Because you remain the full owner of your own brokerage account at MEXEM and Systems2follow has no access to your funds, our model falls outside the classic asset management regulations that require an AFM licence in the Netherlands. Systems2follow operates as a provider of trading signals and copy-trading software.
Customer protection As a client, you are protected on multiple levels:
- Your account at MEXEM MEXEM is regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland (CBI) and is an introducing broker of Interactive Brokers. Your account falls under the European Investor Compensation Scheme (ICS) up to €20,000.
- Ownership of capital Your money is never held on a Systems2follow account. You can view and withdraw your balance at any time.
- Contractual protection The subscription agreement with Systems2follow clearly sets out the rights and obligations of both parties, including the performance guarantee.
Questions about regulation Do you have specific questions about the legal or fiscal aspects of participating in our systems? We strongly recommend that you contact an independent financial or tax advisor. Systems2follow does not provide fiscal or legal advice.
For questions about our working methods and how we handle client protection, you can always reach our team at info@systems2follow.com.
⚠️ Fiscal treatment Returns achieved through Systems2follow are generally taxed in Box 3 (savings and investments tax) for Dutch tax residents. Please consult a tax advisor for your specific situation.
