Professional broker overview

FindMyFX editorial summary

Shard Capital Partners LLP states that it is FCA-authorised under FRN 538762 and Companies House lists partnership number OC360394 as active. Its ShardGO execution-only platform advertises more than 30,000 instruments and a demo account with £100,000 virtual funds.

Score components

Regulation and licenses

7.5/10 · 35%

The firm publishes FCA FRN 538762 and Companies House confirms the active legal entity, but a direct FCA register extract was not reviewed.

Security and track record

2.5/10 · 20%

A material FCA enforcement event involving the former CEO is documented, so the reviewed track record is mixed and incomplete.

Trading conditions

5.0/10 · 15%

Official ShardGO material provides platform scope, no-minimum-investment terms and demo details, but not comparable FX spreads or leverage.

Company transparency

7.5/10 · 10%

Legal entity, Companies House number, FCA reference, office and contact details are publicly documented.
