Offshore Broker Anzo Global With New Structure And Orange Compliance Rating!

We have already reviewed Anzo Capital in 2022. In doing so, we also drew attention to the retail broker's offshore activities, which were not cleanly regulated. Since then, things have changed at Anzo Capital. The FCA-regulated JJ Gard Group LLP has been renamed AnzoCapital LLP and is now part of the Anzo Capital Group.
