Security of Funds

Trade with a trusted broker

Your funds are protected with ThinkMarkets

Globally insured and regulated

ThinkMarkets is licensed and regulated by multiple accredited financial bodies around the globe – we strictly abide by these regulations and the security and protection of our clients’ funds is paramount to us.

In the event of broker default, rest assured we are not only fully insured by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS), but we have also taken additional measures to add an extra layer of protection for our clients with our own exclusive insurance.

Multiple layers of client funds protection

Segregated accounts

We are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in the UK and are required to hold client funds in segregated accounts as a layer of protection in the case of default. We abide by these rules and are partnered with top-tier banking partners.

Segregated accounts

FSCS

In the UK, the FSCS was created to cover shortfalls in client assets in the event of broker default. Under this scheme, a trader is covered up to a maximum of £85,000 in funds.

SFSCS

Enhanced insurance

In addition to the FSCS, we have taken out exclusive insurance that will cover our clients’ funds up to £1M. This will work by covering an additional figure on top of the FSCS coverage of £85,000.

Enhanced insurance

How the schemes work

Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS)

As an example, any retail client with funds of £85,000 and below will be protected by the UK FSCS.

If a client has funds over that amount, they are only covered up to £85,000 under this scheme.

ThinkMarkets exclusive compensation scheme

If a client has funds of £150,000 in the unlikely event of broker default, the UK FSCS will protect the first £85,000

The remaining balance of £65,000 is protected by ThinkMarkets exclusive insurance. This means the full £150,000 of client funds are protected.

Here’s an example:

Under FSCS – Protection up to £85,000 £
Client funds in trading account 150,000
Funds protected by FSCS 85,000
Unprotected funds 65,000
Total client funds protected 85,000
Under ThinkMarkets’ scheme – Protection up to £1M £
Client funds in trading account 150,000
Funds protected by FSCS 85,000
Funds protected by ThinkMarkets’ scheme 65,000
Total client funds protected 150,000

Our exclusive insurance covers client funds up to £1M at no extra cost to the client.

ThinkMarkets insurance is available for retail clients and elective professional clients (EPC) only.

Benefits

Market leading fund protection

We hold the security of our clients’ funds in the highest esteem. That’s why we not only adhere to mandatory insurance, but we also offer enhanced insurance for that extra protection.
Top-tier insurance and banking partners

We work with some of the most trusted and reputable firms from around the world, including insurance from Lloyd’s of London to banking partners including Barclays.
Transparent protection at no extra cost

The insurance applies to all UK clients without the need to opt-in or pay any additional fees. As soon as your account is approved, you’re covered under the insurance scheme.

Global trust

Since our inception in 2010, ThinkMarkets has grown exponentially. With over 450k client accounts across the globe, we are proud to offer enhanced security features through both our technology and insurance policies.
