The claims ledger

Claims specific enough to be falsified — and the ones that remain the venue's own measurement.

Testable claims

  • LMAX Global is a trading name of LMAX Broker Limited, authorised and regulated by the FCA as an Investment Firm, FRN 783200 (UK company 10819525) — stated on lmax.com/global/uk

Explicitly refused
A firm that publishes its own negative space — who it refuses, where it is not licensed — is materially easier to diligence than one that doesn't. The refusal list is treated here as disclosure, not as a defect.
