The FCA has secured a voluntary agreement from Anthony Jones (UK) Limited, an insurance intermediary, to cease all regulated activity from 9 July 2026, meaning the firm can no longer sell, renew or advise on policies while the regulator continues its engagement.
For our readers this is not a forex or CFD matter directly — the firm is an insurance broker, not a leveraged-products provider, and no trading accounts or client money in the CFD sense are involved. Its relevance is procedural. It shows the FCA using a restriction on permissions to freeze a firm's authorisation mid-dispute, and it underlines the standing advice we give on every broker page: confirm a firm's status on the FCA register before you commit funds, and deal only with the regulated entity named on your documentation.
There is no licensing, leverage or authorisation change here that alters which CFD or forex brokers EU and UK traders should shortlist. The FCA action carries no read-across to the spread-betting or CFD firms our comparisons cover.
