Identification of potential conflicts of interest
To adequately manage conflicts of interest, the Company shall identify all relevant conflicts timeously. TheCompany will employ different mechanisms to ensure that all conflicts are identified.

The Company shall identify all conflicts of interest, their severity and document controls to mitigate theconflicts. It is not possible to list all situations which could constitute a conflict. The facts of each situation will
determine whether the interest in question is such as to bring it within the area of potential conflict.
All employees, including management, will be responsible for identifying specific instances of conflict andrequired to notify the Compliance function of any conflicts they become aware of. The Compliance Officer (CO)will assess the implications of the conflict and how the conflict should be managed in conjunction with theboard. In the case where a specific incident to be reported concerns the CO, the notification shall be madeto the Company’s Representative Officer.
For the purposes of identifying the types of conflicts of interest that arise in the course of providing investment
and ancillary services or a combination thereof and whose existence may damage the interests of a client,
the Company takes into account, by way of minimum criteria, the question of whether the Company or arelevant person, or a person directly or indirectly linked by control to the Company, is in any of the following
situations, whether as a result of providing investment or ancillary services or investment activities:-The Company or a relevant person is likely to make a financial gain, or avoid a financial loss, at theexpense of the client;
The Company or a relevant person has an interest in the outcome of a service provided to the client or ofa transaction carried out on behalf of the client, which is distinct from the client's interest in that outcome;
The Company or a relevant person has a financial or other incentive to favour the interest of another clientor group of clients over the interests of the client;
The Company or a relevant person carries on the same business as the client;
The Company or a relevant person receives or will receive from a person other than the client, an
inducement in relation to a service provided to the client, in the form of monies, goods or services, otherthan the standard commission or fee for that service;

Managing conflicts of interest
The Company has established suitable and adequate internal procedures for minimising any potential
conflicts of interest. The Company maintains a compliance department that is an independent unit within theCompany. Among the duties of the Compliance Officer is to monitor any possible deviation from theCompany’s internal policies and procedures as well as identifying and managing any possible conflicts ofinterest. Once a conflict has been identified it needs to be appropriately and adequately managed. The
Compliance function will assess each conflict and determine if the conflict is actual or perceived and what thevalue of the conflict or exposure is and the potential reputational risk. Compliance will then decide whether it
is viable to go ahead with the transaction or if the conflict is too severe. If Compliance decides that theparticular conflict can be mitigated, then controls to manage the conflict should be put in place anddocumented.
The Company will manage conflicts of interest fairly, between itself and its clients, between itself and its
employees and between its customers and to organise and control their internal affairs responsibly andeffectively.
The Company and its employees should act as per the principle of placing clients’ interests before self-interests and Company’s interests in order to avoid conflicts of interest in the fulfilment of professional activities on
the securities market. To ensure client’s fair treatment, the Company will introduce the following procedures:-----The Company shall avoid any conflict of interest with clients and, where such a conflict unavoidably arises,
ensure fair treatment to the client by complete disclosure or by declining to act.
Employees are also prohibited to keep investor accounts in other Brokers without Company’s priorauthorization and are obliged to bring this to Company’s attention. They are also obliged to authorize theCompany to directly request transaction reports from the other Brokers.
If the Company has a material interest in a transaction to be entered into with or for a client, or a
relationship which gives rise to a conflict of interest in relation to the transaction, the Company shall notknowingly either advise, or deal in the exercise of discretion, in relation to that transaction. The onlyexception is when the Company has fairly disclosed that material interest or relationship, as the case may
be, to the client or the client has taken reasonable steps to ensure that neither the material interest nor
relationship adversely affect the interests of the client.
There is a clear distinction between the different departments’ operations as these are described in theCompany’s IOM.

either by notification of that transaction or by other procedures enabling the Company to identify suchtransactions.

person and provides that information to the Company promptly on request.
