Vulnerability

Enum class representing the types of vulnerabilities.

Vulnerable customers are individuals who, due to personal circumstances, are especially susceptible to detriment, particularly when a firm is not acting with appropriate levels of care. These circumstances might include:

  • Physical and mental health issues: Conditions that affect decision-making capabilities or day-to-day functioning.

  • Financial insecurity: Situations such as low income, debt, or recent financial loss that might make individuals more susceptible to financial harm.

  • Low financial literacy: A lack of understanding about financial products and services, which makes navigating financial decisions more challenging.

  • Life events: Major life changes such as bereavement, job loss, or divorce, which can temporarily impair judgment or financial stability.
