Permissions limited to professional and eligible counterparty business sit at the centre of this authorisation. The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), the United Kingdom's statutory conduct regulator for financial services, lists Ebury Partners Markets Ltd on its Financial Services Register under firm reference number 784063. The register shows the firm's status as Authorised, in force since 27 December 2017, with a record type of Regulated.
The FCA is a statutory regulator rather than a company registry or a trade body, and its register records the specific regulated activities each firm may carry on. For this firm the register listed advising on investments other than pension transfers and pension opt outs, arranging (bringing about) deals in investments, dealing in investments as principal, and agreeing to carry on a regulated activity. Those permissions were shown for eligible counterparty and professional customers rather than retail clients, and the dealing permission carried a limited licence matched principal broker limitation.
An entry on the register confirms the scope of permission the authority has granted. It is not a statement about the firm's financial condition, its conduct, or the quality of its service, and confirming an entry on one date does not guarantee the permission remains in force later.
The register gives the firm name, the reference number, a London registered address, a telephone number, an email address, the website ebury.com, Companies House number 10841975, and a requirement effective 27 December 2017 that the firm is unable to act as principal for appointed representatives. It shows no expiry date, because a United Kingdom authorisation does not carry one.
A reader can confirm this by searching 784063 at register.fca.org.uk. A withdrawal of permission, a new restriction, or a change of entity name would change the answer.
