Broker Summary

What Wikilix has recorded about Market Securities: its history, the licences it holds, its trading conditions and its fees.

Market Securities Broker Overview

Market Securities is a cross-asset research and trading firm that presents itself as an institutional financial intermediary rather than a retail trading provider. The website market-securities.com is operated by Market Securities LLP, a limited liability partnership on the UK register under number OC325844, with its principal place of business at 55 Baker Street, London W1U 8EW. The firm's own history says Market Securities was established in 2008, the year it gives for Kyte Equity Derivatives becoming Market Securities LLP. Companies House records the partnership as incorporated on 10 February 2007 as Kyte Equity Derivatives LLP, a name it held until 23 March 2009.

The business is built around execution, price discovery and research for professional counterparties. Its published capabilities cover equities, rates, credit, foreign exchange, commodities and structured products, including derivatives, and it states that it serves banks, hedge funds, institutional investors and proprietary trading firms. It runs offices in London, New York, Paris, Geneva, Dubai, Hong Kong, Monaco and Madrid.

There is no retail offering. The site publishes no account opening flow, no account tiers, no minimum deposit, no leverage, no spread or commission schedule, no trading platform and no deposit or withdrawal methods. Anyone looking for a retail forex or CFD account will not find one here.

Market Securities Regulation and License

The regulatory position is spread across several group entities, and each covers a different jurisdiction. Each entry below appears on the issuing body's own register. They are three authorisations (the FCA, the DFSA and the ACPR), one appointed-representative registration with the FCA, and two United States registrations that come with self-regulatory membership (FINRA and the NFA).

  • United Kingdom. The Financial Conduct Authority's Financial Services Register records firm reference number 174863 as Kyte Broking Limited, authorised since 1 December 2001, and lists Market Securities Division among that firm's current trading names. The register gives its Companies House number as 02781314, and its permissions include dealing in investments as agent and as principal, arranging deals in investments, advising on investments other than pension transfers and opt outs, arranging safeguarding and administration of assets, and operating an Organised Trading Facility. Two limits on that record matter to a reader: every activity is restricted to eligible counterparty and professional customers, and the register states that the firm cannot hold and cannot control client money. Separately, the FCA register lists Market Securities LLP under reference 519097 as an appointed representative since 3 March 2010, with market-securities.com as its website and OC325844 as its company number; the firm's own disclaimer names Kyte Broking Limited as its principal. An appointed representative holds no permission of its own.
  • United Arab Emirates. The Dubai Financial Services Authority's public register lists Market Securities (Dubai) Limited, a DIFC company, under DFSA reference F002425, licensed since 9 January 2014. Its financial services are arranging deals in investments, advising on financial products, arranging credit and advising on credit, dealing in investments as agent and as principal, arranging custody, managing assets and managing a collective investment fund, and dealing as principal is limited to deals on a Matched Principal basis only. The register shows an endorsement for holding or controlling client assets and none for retail clients. The firm's Dubai disclosure states that these services are for Professional Clients and Market Counterparties only, must not be relied upon by Retail Clients, and may not apply to other group companies or to clients outside the DIFC. The NFA's BASIC register lists the same company under NFA ID 0499649 as an NFA member and CFTC-registered introducing broker since 29 September 2017.
  • France. The ACPR's REGAFI register lists Market Securities (France) SA as an authorised investment firm under CIB code 13483 since 23 August 2019. The firm states it is supervised by the ACPR and the AMF and operates an Organised Trading Facility, and its terms of business say it cannot provide investment services to a client who asks to be treated as a Retail Client.
  • United States. FINRA's BrokerCheck lists Market Securities, LLC of New York under CRD 283701 as an approved member broker-dealer since 17 October 2016, registered with the SEC under number 8-69765. The group's US site states that it is a member of SIPC and clears through RBC Clearing and Custody on a fully disclosed basis.

Each of these entries was read on the issuing body's own register on 21 October 2026. The firm publishes no register numbers for its Dubai, French or US companies, so those numbers come from the registers rather than from the firm.

Is Market Securities Regulated?

The authorisation behind the brand belongs to another company in the group rather than to the business that runs the website. Kyte Broking Limited is confirmed on the FCA register as an authorised firm, and Market Securities Division is one of its registered trading names, which ties the brand to that authorisation. Market Securities LLP acts as an appointed representative, which means it may carry on regulated business only under the responsibility of its principal, and it is the principal rather than the appointed representative that answers to the regulator for business conducted under the arrangement. What the confirmed record does not reach is retail business or client money, because the permissions are limited to eligible counterparties and professional customers and exclude holding or controlling client money.

Market Securities LLP

Market Securities LLP is the legal entity behind the brand and the website. Companies House records it as active, incorporated on 10 February 2007, with its registered office at 55 Baker Street, London W1U 8EW, the same address the firm publishes as its London office and the same address held by Kyte Broking Limited. The Global LEI record places both companies under a common parent, Market Securities Group Limited, a Hong Kong company formed in 2018. The wider group also includes registered, active companies in France, the United States, the United Arab Emirates, Hong Kong, Monaco and Switzerland, and the French company runs a branch in Madrid.

Is Market Securities Safe?

The corporate side of this firm holds up well to checking: every entity it names is a real, currently active company, the registered addresses match the offices it advertises, and the operating partnership has an unbroken record on the UK register going back further than the founding date it claims. The regulatory side holds up as well: the UK principal firm's authorisation and the appointed-representative entry for Market Securities LLP are on the FCA register, and the Dubai, French and United States companies appear on the DFSA, ACPR, FINRA and NFA registers under the names the firm uses.

The more practical point for an individual reader is that this is not a firm that takes retail money. There is no client account, no deposit channel and no trading platform on offer to a private client, and the confirmed UK permissions do not allow client money to be held. Anyone approached by someone using this name and offering a personal trading account should treat that approach as unconnected to the business described on this website until the firm itself confirms otherwise.

Market Securities Support

Contact is handled as business development rather than client support. The firm publishes a single business enquiry address, Business_development@market-securities.com, a business enquiry form, and direct telephone numbers for each office, including +44 (0)203 925 8300 in London, +1 917 924 9811 in New York, +33 1 70 99 52 00 in Paris, +971 4 374 1300 in Dubai and +41 21 787 2924 in Geneva. Its privacy notice gives london@market-securities.com and +442071500767 for data protection enquiries. There is no live chat, no help centre and no published service hours, and the site is available in English only.

Market Securities Pros and Cons

  • Every legal entity the firm names is verifiable and currently active on an official register, with addresses that match the offices it advertises.
  • The operating partnership has been continuously registered in the United Kingdom since 2007, and the group's UK principal firm since 1993.
  • The UK principal firm's authorisation is confirmed on the FCA register, which also records Market Securities Division as one of its trading names.
  • The firm publishes no register numbers for its Dubai, French and United States companies, so a reader has to look each one up on its regulator's register.
  • The entity operating the website is not authorised in its own right, and the confirmed UK permissions exclude holding client money and reach professional counterparties only.
  • Nothing a retail client would need is published: no accounts, costs, leverage, platforms or funding methods.

Market Securities Review and Assessment

Market Securities is best understood as a wholesale execution and research business with a verifiable corporate footprint, not as a broker a private trader can open an account with. The company structure stands up to independent checking in every jurisdiction it claims, and the UK authorisation the group relies on is a real one held by a named firm. The points worth keeping in view are that the UK authorisation sits with Kyte Broking Limited rather than with the partnership that runs the website, that the UK and Dubai permissions reach professional clients and counterparties only, and that the firm publishes no register numbers for its non-UK companies, although each one is on its regulator's register. For a professional counterparty those are questions to put to the firm directly before onboarding. For a private individual, the more important point is that this firm does not offer the product they are looking for.

What our check found

A full UK investment firm authorisation held by Kyte Broking Limited, the principal behind the London business. Permissions cover advising on investments, arranging deals, arranging safeguarding and administration of assets, dealing in investments as agent, dealing as principal on a matched-principal basis, and operating an Organised Trading Facility under MiFID II. Customer types are limited to eligible counterparties and professionals, with no retail permission, and the register states the firm cannot hold and cannot control client money. Market Securities Division is a registered trading name of this firm. Client protection: a full FCA authorisation with venue-operator permissions under UK prudential and conduct rules, for professional clients and eligible counterparties only. Retail protections such as the 1:30 leverage cap and negative balance protection do not apply to this business, and Financial Ombudsman Service or FSCS cover is open only to a client who meets those schemes' own eligibility rules. Effective: 01 Dec 2001.

Client protection under this licence

  • Compensation schemeUp to £85000 (FSCS)
  • Client money kept separate
  • Negative balance protection

Country availability

Where Market Securities says it will and won't take clients

No country restrictions on record. We looked and found nothing published — which is not the same as being open to everyone. Check Market Securities's terms.

How we know — 15 sources
  1. 1All four lists are empty as a finding rather than an omission: across every page and document the operator publishes on its own domains, no country, territory or jurisdiction is named as one it will not serve, and none is named as explicitly accepted. The restrictions it does publish are restrictions of client category and legal form, not of geography.
  2. 2Client agreement, United Kingdom entity: the Terms of Business published at https://www.market-securities.com/regulatory-documents/MS-Kyte-Broking states at clause 4.1 that clients are treated as a Professional Client or an Eligible Counterparty, and that "If you request to be categorised as a Retail Client thereby requiring a higher level of regulatory protection, KBL will not be able to provide Brokerage Services to you." No country is named anywhere in the document. Its clause 26 gives the Courts of England exclusive jurisdiction over disputes, which is a forum clause and not an onboarding restriction.
  3. 3Venue eligibility, United Kingdom entity: the OTF Rulebook version 2.1 of April 2022, on the same page, states at rule 4.1 that to be eligible clients "must not be a natural person or a retail client (as defined in Article 4(1)(12) of MiFID II)" and must either be an EEA-regulated investment firm or credit institution "or otherwise licensed and supervised by a financial market supervisory authority in its country of incorporation", or else be fit and proper. That test turns on regulatory status and legal form and admits a firm from any country that has a financial supervisor, so it yields neither a blocked nor an accepted code.
  4. 4Venue eligibility, France entity: the OTF Rulebook of 1 April 2022 published at https://www.market-securities.com/regulatory-documents/MS-France carries the same rule 4.1 wording excluding natural persons and retail clients, and the France Terms of Business on that page classifies clients under article D533-4 of the French Monetary and Financial Code. Neither names a country.
  5. 5Both rulebooks accommodate clients from outside their home jurisdiction instead of excluding them, so neither the United States nor any non-EEA country counts as refused: the United Kingdom rulebook at rule 16.11 and the France rulebook at rule 17.10 each define a "US Person" and set out the clearing requirements that apply to swap transactions such a client executes on the venue, and the France rulebook at rule 14.4 provides for a client classified as a third-country investment firm outside MiFIR and MiFID by reporting on that client's behalf.
  6. 6Standing website disclaimer at https://www.market-securities.com/disclosures, Disclaimer tab: "This website is not intended for distribution to nor use by any person in any country or jurisdiction where such distribution or use would be contrary to local law or regulatory requirements." That is a catch-all that names no country.
  7. 7The same disclaimer adds that the site "may contain links to the websites of Market Securities LLP's and Kyte Broking Limited's associated companies, which may set out additional restrictions on access, either to the website or to the services provided". That reference was followed to every associated-company surface the site publishes, namely the Dubai and France regulatory-document pages and the United States entity site at https://market-securities.us.com/, and none of them restricts access by country.
  8. 8Regulatory disclosure at https://www.market-securities.com/regulatory-documents/MS-Dubai limits the Dubai entity to "Professional Clients and Market Counterparties only" and states the page "must not be relied upon by Retail Clients". The same page says that entity provides its services "in and from the DIFC" and that references to services on the website "may not apply to other group companies or to clients located outside the DIFC". That describes which entity's services apply where; it refuses no country.
  9. 9Anti-money-laundering and identity-verification disclosures were read in two places, the Dubai page above and the United States entity's disclaimer at https://market-securities.us.com/disclaimer-2/. Both distinguish U.S. from non-U.S. entities only in order to say which identification number to supply, an employer identification number for the first and a taxpayer identification number for the second, and both state that an account may not be opened until identity has been verified. Neither is a restriction on either group, and both are written around opening accounts for both.
  10. 10No dedicated countries page exists, and the site has no standalone terms, legal, client-agreement, documents, FAQ or help page. The operator publishes its client agreements per legal entity under /regulatory-documents instead.
  11. 11The site has no registration, account-opening or login page, so it has no onboarding country selector. The only form on the site, at https://www.market-securities.com/contact, is a business enquiry form with name, surname, organisation, email, contact number and message fields and a consent box, with no country field; the site's own scripts contain no country list either. Admission runs by application pack on request, from tradingagreements@kytebroking.com for the United Kingdom venue and onboarding@market-securities.com for the France venue, each at rule 5.2 of the relevant rulebook.
  12. 12The site has no deposit, funding or withdrawal page and no partner or introducing-broker terms, so neither source adds a restriction.
  13. 13The footer names no jurisdiction: on every page it carries only links to the disclosures and regulatory-documents pages and a copyright line, with no risk disclaimer. The site is published in English only; it has no other language versions, and addresses such as /en, /fr, /ar, /fa, /fa-ir and /ir do not exist.
  14. 14Iran: no page on the operator's own domains mentions Iran, Persian-language service or Iranian payment rails. The operator has no Persian site variant or subdomain and no Persian-language enquiry or application route, so Iran is neither accepted nor refused.
  15. 15No regulator filing was consulted for any operating entity, because this review draws only on the operator's own published pages. A filing states the permitted scope of a licence rather than the firm's onboarding policy, so it could not by itself have placed any country in the blocked lists.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Market Securities

Most Popular Questions

The firm publishes no pricing at all: there is no spread, commission or fee schedule anywhere on its site, and no financing or account charges are listed. That is consistent with an institutional execution business, where terms are agreed directly with each counterparty rather than published. Anyone quoting a Market Securities spread or commission figure is not taking it from the firm.

No protection arrangement covers a retail client here, because the firm holds no retail accounts. The FCA register entry for its UK principal firm, Kyte Broking Limited, states that the firm cannot hold and cannot control client money, and its permissions are limited to eligible counterparty and professional customers. Only the group's US arm makes a protection claim: Market Securities, LLC states that it is a member of SIPC and that client accounts are carried by its clearing firm on a fully disclosed basis. The firm publishes no client money or segregation statement for its UK, French or Dubai entities, although the DFSA register shows the Dubai company holds an endorsement for holding or controlling client assets. A complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service or a claim on the Financial Services Compensation Scheme is open only to a client who meets those schemes' own eligibility rules.

It means the company operating the website is not authorised by the FCA in its own right. An appointed representative may carry on regulated business only under the responsibility of an authorised principal firm, and the firm names Kyte Broking Limited as that principal, so the principal rather than the appointed representative answers to the regulator for the business conducted under the arrangement. Kyte Broking Limited's own authorisation is confirmed on the FCA register under firm reference 174863. The FCA register also lists Market Securities LLP under reference 519097 with the status Appointed representative since 3 March 2010, giving market-securities.com as its website and OC325844 as its company number.

Its headquarters is at 55 Baker Street, London W1U 8EW, which is also the registered office recorded at Companies House for both Market Securities LLP and Kyte Broking Limited. It publishes further offices in New York, Paris, Geneva, Dubai, Hong Kong, Monaco and Madrid, each with a street address, and the group's registered companies in those jurisdictions are all active on official registers.

Market Securities dates itself to 2008: its own history page says the firm was established that year, when Kyte Equity Derivatives became Market Securities LLP. UK Companies House records the partnership as incorporated on 10 February 2007 under the name Kyte Equity Derivatives LLP, which it kept until 23 March 2009, and shows it as active. Its principal firm, Kyte Broking Limited, has been registered since 20 January 1993, and the firm's history traces the Kyte business back to 1985 on the LIFFE floor.

Through the business enquiry form and address on , or by telephoning an office directly: +44 (0)203 925 8300 in London, +1 917 924 9811 in New York, +33 1 70 99 52 00 in Paris, +971 4 374 1300 in Dubai and +41 21 787 2924 in Geneva. The general enquiry address is Business_development@market-securities.com. There is no live chat and no published support hours.

The firm names no accepted or restricted countries anywhere on its site. Its disclaimer says only that the website is not intended for use by anyone in a jurisdiction where that would be contrary to local law or regulatory requirements, which names no country. Because there is no onboarding form, there is also no country selector to indicate which jurisdictions it will take on.

The question does not arise in the retail sense, because the firm publishes no deposit or withdrawal channel and holds no retail client accounts. In the United States, group company Market Securities, LLC states that client accounts are carried by its clearing firm, RBC Clearing and Custody, on a fully disclosed basis rather than by Market Securities itself.

The firm publishes no leverage figure, and no retail leverage applies because it offers no retail accounts. Its disclaimer does warn generally that investments in securities and financial instruments, including futures, options and contracts for difference, can lose value and may create additional liabilities.

Its published capabilities span equities, including cash equities, derivatives, convertibles and risk arbitrage; rates, with futures and options focused on short term rates, interest rate swaps and repo; credit, covering distressed and investment grade with emerging market and corporate bond repo; foreign exchange from vanilla to exotics; commodities across exchange traded and OTC oil, softs, metals and minerals, plus digital asset derivatives; and structured products. These are institutional execution services, not a retail instrument list.

None is published. The site names no MetaTrader, cTrader or proprietary platform, and offers no download or web terminal. Execution is described as a service delivered by trading teams to institutional counterparties rather than through a self-service platform.

The firm publishes none, because it does not take retail deposits. There is no client account, no funding page and no deposit channel of any kind on the site. Any figure quoted elsewhere as a Market Securities minimum deposit does not come from the firm.

Only as a professional or institutional client. Market Securities offers no retail account and no public online sign-up: the site has no registration or account-opening page, and its only form is a business enquiry form on . Its UK terms of business say Kyte Broking Limited treats each client as a Professional Client or an Eligible Counterparty and cannot provide its brokerage services to anyone who asks to be treated as a Retail Client, and the Dubai disclosure limits Market Securities (Dubai) Limited to Professional Clients and Market Counterparties.

Onboarding runs through the firm's account onboarding team. To use the Kyte Broking trading venue, a client completes an Express Consent Request and the OTF Membership Agreement, is given a client classification, and reviews the terms of business and order execution policy; the venue rulebook says the application pack is available on request from tradingagreements@kytebroking.com, and the venue pages give Global-Onboarding@market-securities.com for queries. The Dubai disclosure adds that the firm must identify and verify each person or company that opens an account, asking for a name, an address and an identification number, and may not open the account until that is done.

The website is operated by Market Securities LLP, a UK limited liability partnership registered under number OC325844 at 55 Baker Street, London W1U 8EW. The Global LEI record places it and the group's UK principal firm, Kyte Broking Limited, under a common parent, Market Securities Group Limited, a Hong Kong company formed in 2018.

Nothing we found points that way, and our published scam check reads appears legitimate. The firm's regulatory claims hold up on the regulators' own registers: the FCA lists Kyte Broking Limited (174863) as authorised and Market Securities LLP (519097) as its appointed representative, the DFSA lists Market Securities (Dubai) Limited (F002425), the ACPR lists Market Securities (France) SA (CIB 13483), FINRA lists Market Securities, LLC (CRD 283701), and the NFA lists the Dubai company (NFA ID 0499649) as an introducing broker. Companies House has recorded the operating partnership since 10 February 2007 and its principal, Kyte Broking Limited, since 20 January 1993. It is not a retail broker: the UK and Dubai permissions reach professional clients and eligible or market counterparties only, and the firm offers no retail account, so a private individual offered a personal trading account under this name should confirm it with the firm directly.

Yes, through companies in its group rather than through the partnership that runs the website. The Financial Conduct Authority's register lists Kyte Broking Limited under firm reference 174863 as authorised since 1 December 2001, and lists Market Securities LLP, the operator of market-securities.com, under reference 519097 as an appointed representative since 3 March 2010; the firm's disclaimer names Kyte Broking Limited as its principal. The UK permissions reach eligible counterparty and professional customers only, and the firm cannot hold or control client money. Outside the UK, the Dubai Financial Services Authority lists Market Securities (Dubai) Limited under F002425, licensed since 9 January 2014, with no endorsement for retail clients; the ACPR lists Market Securities (France) SA under CIB 13483 since 23 August 2019; FINRA lists Market Securities, LLC as a member broker-dealer under CRD 283701; and the NFA lists the Dubai company as an introducing broker under NFA ID 0499649.
