Vantage Prime Group LLC d/b/a VantageMarkets (VantageMarkets.co.uk) is regulated in the UK by the FCA. In addition, the VantageMarkets scheme runs offshore entities through which it performs onboarding of clients in the EEA region, in violation of the regulatory requirements of the FCA and ESMA regulators. Italian Consob has ordered the black-out of the VantageMarkets. Recently, Spanish CNMV issued another warning. We have assigned a Red Compliance rating to the Vantage Group.

FinTelegram is known and hated primarily for its critical reviews. In this respect, we may (somewhat) disappoint this expectation with our new review of Moneta Markets by David Bily. We have upgraded the broker's compliance rating from red to orange, honoring the regulatory actions taken in recent months and the positive customer feedback. However, some of the broker's key target markets are still covered without regulatory permissions. Here is our updated review.

Vantage Prime Group LLC d/b/a VantageMarkets (VantageMarkets.co.uk) is regulated in the UK by the FCA. In addition, the VantageMarkets scheme runs offshore entities through which it performs onboarding of clients in the EEA region, in violation of the regulatory requirements of the FCA and ESMA regulators. The Italian Consob has ordered the black-out of the VantageMarkets offshore broker website (VantageMarkets.com). It is not the first regulatory warning. Be very careful when dealing with this broker scheme.

The Vantage Group is a global, multi-asset broker headquartered in Sydney, Australia, d/b/a Vantage and, until Q2 2022, also as VT Markets.

Here is another update. Until Q2 2022, VT Markets was officially a Vantage Group brand. Now VT Markets operates without direct reference to Vantage. Here is an update.

FinTelegram reported back in August 2022 that Moneta Markets appeared to no longer be part of Vantage Group. In an executive interview with Finance Magnate, founder and CEO David Bily confirmed the breakaway from the Vantage Group. He also informed that Moneta Markets would now also operate with an ASIC license in Australia. However, Moneta Markets still operates unauthorized in Europe and violates regulatory rules. Here is another update.

Moneta Markets is a trading style of the Vantage Group. The offshore entity Vantage Global Limited, registered with the VFSC in Vanuatu, is the operator of Moneta Markets and other offshore brands. European regulators have warned against the unauthorized and thus illegal activities of Moneta Markets soliciting consumers in the EU. Today, the offshore broker increased the leverage for crypto CFDs up to 1:100, which is again a violation of regulatory frameworks in Europe and other regulatory regimes.

Those working with offshore brokers are not eligible for investor compensation schemes in ESMA member states. Their money is not protected!
