Market Securities

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 dates its own founding to 2008, when the partnership took the Market Securities name; the same partnership has been on the UK register since 10 February 2007 under its earlier name, Kyte Equity Derivatives LLP.

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.

• United Kingdom. The firm's own disclaimer states that Market Securities LLP, FCA register number 519097, is an appointed representative of Kyte Broking Limited, which it describes as authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority under FCA register number 174863. Kyte Broking Limited is a separate UK company, number 02781314, registered for security and commodity contracts dealing activities, and the firm states it holds FCA permission to operate an Organised Trading Facility.
• United Arab Emirates. Market Securities (Dubai) Limited is described as incorporated in the Dubai International Financial Centre and authorised and regulated by the Dubai Financial Services Authority, with permissions to arrange deals in investments, advise on financial products, arrange and advise on credit, deal in investments as agent and as principal, arrange custody and manage assets. The same disclosure states that these services are for Professional Clients and Market Counterparties only and must not be relied upon by Retail Clients. The entity also states that it is a member of the National Futures Association, registered as an Introducing Broker.
• France. Market Securities (France) SA is described as authorised by the ACPR and supervised by the ACPR and the AMF, and as operating an Organised Trading Facility.
• United States. Market Securities, LLC of New York is described on the group's US site as a FINRA registered broker-dealer and a member of SIPC, clearing through RBC Clearing and Custody on a fully disclosed basis.

None of these permissions was confirmed against the issuing authority's own record in this research, because the firm publishes no per-entity verification link for any of them. They are stated by the firm and are unconfirmed here.

Is Market Securities Regulated?

It operates under regulatory permissions it names precisely, but the entity behind the website is not itself authorised. Market Securities LLP acts as an appointed representative, which means it may carry on regulated business only under the responsibility of its principal, Kyte Broking Limited. That is a real regulatory arrangement recognised in the United Kingdom, and it is a materially different thing from holding an authorisation directly: the principal, not the appointed representative, answers to the regulator for the business conducted under it.

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 and Monaco.

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. What is not established here is the regulatory side, because no permission was confirmed against the authority that granted it and the firm publishes no register link for any of them.

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. 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.
• Named regulatory permissions across four jurisdictions are specific enough to be checked, including two FCA register numbers.
• No permission was confirmed against the granting authority in this research, and the firm publishes no verification link for any of them.
• The entity operating the website is an appointed representative rather than a directly authorised firm.
• 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, which is more than many firms carrying a broker label manage. The gap worth keeping in view is between the specificity of the regulatory claims and the absence of any published route to verify them, together with the fact that the website's operator relies on another company's authorisation. For a professional counterparty those are questions to put to the firm directly before onboarding. For a private individual the more important consideration is simply that this firm does not offer the product they are looking for.
