ADSS: follow the evidence.
Entity and product research. Listing is not a recommendation or a finding of UAE eligibility.
ADSS publishes separate legal documents and an account application route. Check whether the agreement covers margin trading or non-margin investing; they are not interchangeable.

What the documents establish
ADS Securities L.L.C – S.P.C
Current index and linked historical documents inspected
The current legal page names ADS Securities L.L.C – S.P.C. Its linked December 2023 margin terms use ADS Securities LLC. The index also links separate direct-client and Referral Agent schedules. Confirm the applicable legal name, agreement version and tariff before applying.
Client-money evidence
Agreement inspected; utilised-margin exception needs review
The currently linked December 2023 terms describe segregation in clause 21.1. Clauses 21.2–21.3 distinguish utilised margin: the text transfers its ownership to ADSS and says it no longer receives client-money protection or segregation. Applicability to the proposed account and any superseding amendments require qualified review. The actual bank remains unknown.

Questions to resolve for this account
- Which current legal entity, agreement version and amendments apply, given the name difference between the index and PDF?
- How does clause 21.3 on utilised margin apply to this customer classification, and has it been superseded?
- Does the direct or Referral Agent tariff apply, and what are the all-in EUR/USD spread, commission, financing and referral components?
- Which bank and jurisdiction hold unutilised client funds and any margin or collateral?
These are research questions, not an invitation to deposit. No account, trade or transfer was tested.
