What we checked

This authorisation is in force but limited — it does not carry the same protections as a full trading licence.

Authorised (genuine firm); narrow permissions, not a retail trading licence

Finding

A genuine FCA authorisation held by the real Algo Capital Management Limited for investment-management activity. It is not a retail forex or CFD dealing licence, and the firm states it has never offered retail broking. Client protection: The FCA is the UK tier-1 regulator, but this authorisation is a narrow investment-management permission that does not cover retail CFD or forex trading, so a retail trader gets no FSCS-protected brokerage here.. Effective: 1 Dec 2001.

None of these matches the name the register printed, so we do not say which one holds this licence.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions about this licence

Answered from this register entry and the authority’s own record.

Most Popular Questions

Treat it as unverified and do not send money. Confirm the approach independently against the registered company's own details on the Companies House record, and check the firm's authorisation directly with your national financial regulator before acting.

No retail forex or CFD offering could be confirmed. The business has historically been described as institutional investment management and structured products for professional clients, and no retail account, platform or trading condition is published under the name.

The company was incorporated on 22 April 1999 and has traded under the Algo Capital Management name since 31 August 2005. That is a long corporate history, but it belongs to the company rather than to any regulated brokerage service, which is a separate question.

Yes. Companies House shows Algo Capital Management Limited as Active, with accounts made up to 31 March 2025 and a confirmation statement dated 22 April 2026. A compulsory strike-off action was started in July 2024 but did not proceed.

The only contact details on record are a London telephone number, +44 207 993 8882, and a registered office at 3rd Floor 24 Old Bond Street, London W1S 4AP. No email address, live chat or support portal is published, and the registered office address can be checked on the Companies House record.

Unknown. No restricted countries list, terms of business or registration form could be reached for this brand, so no country policy is recorded. The absence of a published restriction is not the same as a country being accepted.

No deposit or withdrawal methods, fees, limits or processing times are published for Algo Capital. Because no funding channel can be confirmed, you should not send money to any account presented as belonging to this brand without independently confirming the recipient with the registered company first.

No leverage figure is published anywhere this research could confirm. Any specific leverage ratio quoted to you under this name should be treated as unverified.

None that could be confirmed. No trading platform, server name or download link is published by the brand, so no platform is recorded on this profile.

No minimum deposit is published. The brand does not operate a live site with account terms on it, and no minimum deposit figure could be established from any source for this profile.

Not a working one. The only official address on record for the brand no longer serves a site and now resolves to a domain marketplace for-sale listing, so there is no live homepage, client area or account opening page.

The brand belongs to Algo Capital Management Limited, a private limited company registered in England and Wales under number 03757478. Companies House lists a named British director and company secretary in post since September 2005, and the company was previously called Claremont Capital Management Limited.

The registered company behind the name is real and is not shown by anything in this research to be running a fraud. The risk is different: because the brand holds no trading licence and no longer operates a website, anyone soliciting deposits under the Algo Capital name today cannot be verified as the registered company, and a near identical name was the subject of a UK regulator clone warning in 2016.

No. No forex or CFD trading licence for Algo Capital could be confirmed with any financial regulator, and the brand publishes no regulator name, licence number or licensed entity of its own. The only official record behind the name is a UK company registration, which is a corporate record rather than financial regulation and confers no permission to hold client money.
