Finding

A Cyprus Investment Firm licence held by LMAX Broker Europe Limited, the group's European Union company, registered in Cyprus as HE 346613. CySEC is a European Union statutory regulator, so the licence carries MiFID conduct rules, segregation of client money and access to the Cypriot investor compensation fund. CySEC also records the firm's approved website, which we checked. Client protection: Moderate to strong. European Union conduct rules, client money segregation and investor compensation fund cover.. Effective: 08 Aug 2016.
