Перевод Статьи: UK Brokers Regulated by the FCAРусский

The UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is one of the strictest financial regulators in the world. FCA-authorised brokers must segregate client money, report on capital and take part in the FSCS compensation scheme, which can pay retail clients up to £85,000 if a firm fails.

FCA protection applies only if your account is held with the broker’s UK entity. Many groups onboard foreign clients through offshore subsidiaries with weaker rules.
