How does the Financial Consumer Protection Act classify financial products?

Den svenska versionen av den här sidan förbereds. Tills vidare visas innehållet på engelska.

The Act divides all financial products into 4 types: deposit-type, loan-type, protection-type (insurance) and investment-type products.

Stocks, funds, derivatives, trust contracts, discretionary investment contracts, P2P-linked investments and the like are investment-type products. If a product has attributes of two or more types, it is regarded as belonging to each of those types.
