About the company. Security of funds

Blackwell Global is brand name of Blackwell Global Investments (Cyprus) Ltd that is regulated by the CySEC. Founded in 2010, it operates globally and has 8 introducing offices in Auckland, Beijing, Hong Kong, Lagos, Limassol, London, Melbourne, Shanghai and Singapore. Blackwell Global Investments (UK) Ltd., the broker’s subsidiary company, has a license issued by the FCA in February 2016 so it is eligible to operate in the UK.

Both the CySEC and the FCA apply certain requirements to providers of financial services in Cyprus and the UK correspondingly. Thus, they set the minimum capital requirement which stipulates that the British brokers must have at least 730,000 euros on their accounts while the capital of the Cypriot brokers must be no less than 1,000,000 euros.

The regulation by the FCA ensures safety of clients’ funds under the compensation program according to which 50,000 pounds per person may be paid out if the broker goes bankrupt. All brokers that are regulated by the CySEC also participate in the compensation program and pay out up to 20,000 euros per person in case of bankruptcy.

Additionally, Blackwell Global obtained a license from the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) of Hong Kong in 2017.
