Notes

What's changing in the rules, and what it means for you

Short, practical write-ups on the regulation that affects retail investors in Ireland — no legal jargon, no hype.

How to read the notes below

Written for people starting out

Every note here assumes no background in markets. Where a term can't be avoided, it's explained the first time it appears, and where rules differ by country, that's stated rather than glossed over.

What you won't find

No price predictions and no trading signals. Anything framed as a guaranteed return is the clearest warning sign in this industry, and we won't add to it.

How often notes are updated

Notes are revisited whenever the underlying rules change — a new regulation, a new reporting requirement, a change in how deposits are handled. The date on each note is when it was last checked, not when it was first written.
