Firm reference number 186764 on the Financial Services Register of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is held by The Link Asset and Securities Company Limited rather than by the ICAP brand itself. The register records that firm's status as No longer authorised, since 09/08/2023.
The FCA is the statutory conduct regulator for financial services firms in the United Kingdom, and this register is its public record of the firms it has authorised. The entry classifies the firm's Type as Regulated, which means it held permissions in its own right rather than acting as an appointed representative under another firm's authorisation. Since the authorisation has ended, the register publishes no schedule of regulated activities for it.
A register entry records authorisation status only. It is not a statement about a firm's solvency or conduct, and an ended entry does not carry across to other companies in the same group. Several TP ICAP companies appear on this register under their own reference numbers and their own statuses, so this entry speaks for the named firm alone.
The record gives the firm name, reference number 186764, registered company number 03454743, an address at 135 Bishopsgate, London EC2M 3TP, United Kingdom, the telephone number +4402070005000 and the website www.linkbrokers.co.uk. Its status block showed No longer authorised with the date 09/08/2023 and the Type Regulated. No expiry date appears anywhere on the record, which is normal for a United Kingdom authorisation, and no permissions are listed.
Anyone can confirm this by searching 186764 at register.fca.org.uk and opening the firm result, which carries the same status block. The position would change if the FCA granted this entity a fresh authorisation or if the name on the register changed. Any other company in the group needs its own check against its own reference number.
