Purpose

The UK foreign exchange market is a long-established international forex market. As one of the key hubs for global forex trading, it is characterized by large trading volumes, flexible trading hours, and a large number of financial institutions. In order to help investors or practitioners gain a more comprehensive understanding of forex brokers in this region, the site inspection team visited the UK for an on-site investigation.

Process

The on-site inspection team planned to visit the foreign exchange broker Anton Holdings in the UK. According to public information, its office address is 70 Gracechurch Street, London, England, EC3V 0XL.

A professional and experienced site visit team, with a sense of mission to strictly scrutinize for investors, traveled to the UK according to a meticulous plan. They conducted an on-site verification of the broker Anton Holdings, which claims to be located at 70 Gracechurch Street, London, England, EC3V 0XL.

The site visit personnel arrived at the target building, located on Gracechurch Street in central London, with a bustling surrounding area and a strong commercial atmosphere. However, no company logo or related information of Anton Holdings was found on the exterior of the building.

The site visit personnel entered the building lobby and stated their purpose to the security guard. After communication, they obtained permission to enter.

Although they entered the building lobby, after arriving at the target floor, the site visit personnel found no clear signage for Anton Holdings's office area. Upon inquiring with the security guard, they learned that the directory board listed only other companies, not Anton Holdings. Due to the lack of any information about this company, the site visit personnel could not enter the so-called interior. Moreover, they could not photograph the reception area or its logo. It was not a shared office.

Even from the lobby, the surveyors were unable to observe the company's internal environment, and overall, no trace of the broker was found. This aligns with the on-site assessment: "Upon arrival, the address was confirmed, but no information regarding the broker could be found. The directory only listed other companies, and the security guard also stated they were not present, leading to the conclusion that this is a fraudulent address."

Therefore, after the site visit, it was confirmed that broker Anton Holdings does not exist at the above address.

Conclusion

The surveyor visited the forex broker Anton Holdings in the UK as planned. At its publicly displayed business address, no company name or other information of the broker was visible, indicating that the broker does not have a real business premises. Investors should make their decisions after comprehensive consideration.
