The special nature of dealing in the stock market, and the lack of experience and knowledge among the dealers trading in securities in this market, made the laws regulating it tend to put in place mechanisms to achieve protection for investors. Brokers participate in it and pay periodic subscriptions, so that compensation is paid from these subscriptions to investors who suffered damage from the brokers they deal with, or in the event that the broker goes bankrupt, as the affected investor submits a request to the fund to claim compensation for the damage incurred as a result of the broker’s breach of his agreement with him, but no The fund covers the entire loss incurred by the investor, but the compensation is within a specific range indicated by the fund. If the compensation claimed by the investor is more than what is covered by the fund, he may refer to the broker in excess to cover his loss
