The Broker Client Agreement is a fundamental legal document required for establishing and governing the relationship between licensed brokers and their clients in Austria. This agreement is essential for compliance with Austrian financial regulations, particularly the Securities Supervision Act (WAG 2018) and the Austrian Commercial Code (UGB). It outlines the scope of brokerage services, fee structures, risk disclosures, and regulatory obligations. The document is designed to protect both parties' interests while ensuring transparency and regulatory compliance in financial services activities. It includes specific provisions for client classification, conflict of interest management, and data protection under Austrian law. The agreement should be used whenever a broker begins a new client relationship and must be tailored based on whether the client is retail, professional, or institutional.
