Safety of Customer Funds


As a financial firm authorized and regulated by the Financial Services Authority (“FSA”), Alpari (UK) takes pride in building and maintaining a strong reputation amongst its clients and the Forex Industry by providing 6 committments to enhance Safety of Customer funds: 

 

Segregation

All capital not being used for margin purposes will be fully segregated into a special client account which is kept separate from Alpari (UK) company funds. Your funds will not be used to pay back creditors in the event of our company’s bankruptcy.


Financial Service Compensation Scheme

Alpari (UK)’s status as an FSA authorized and regulated company means our retail clients are eligible to the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (“FSCS”) in the event Alpari (UK) is unable to meet our financial obligations (visit www.FSCS.org.uk for more information).


Bank Accounts in Tier 1 Banks

All funds, whether they are classified as company funds or client funds, are only kept at the safest top tier banks such as Barclays Commercial, Deutsche Bank or HSBC.


Constant Supervision by the Regulator

As an FSA regulated company, Alpari (UK) is required to meet strict financial standards, including capital adequacy requirements. On a regular basis, we are required to submit financial reports to the Financial Services Authority to show that we have more than enough funds to meet our liabilities in time. These standards are enforced by the FSA, which has the right to fine firms and/or terminate a firm's regulatory status if there is a violation. Our annual financial reports are audited by a leading financial auditor in the United Kingdom - Smith & Williamson.

 

Automated Risk Management System

Alpari (UK)'s automated risk management system is designed to reduce the risk of your trading account being depleted to zero or turning negative.

 

Prime Brokerage and Best Execution

Alpari (UK)'s best execution commitment is tied to our belief that the Prime Broker Model is mutually beneficial. It enables us to offer accurate and fast execution, with the added bonus of lower costs. Alpari (UK) achieves this by implementing a Prime Broker Model that gives us the opportunity to deliver a professional, institutional-level trading system to the retail market.
