AMZN244.85−1.09%•AMZN244.85−1.09%•Landmark Capital is authorised and regulated by the Gibraltar Financial Services Commission (FSC Ref. 19174). Here's an honest, plain-English comparison of what that means for you relative to a UK FCA-only firm.
One integrated regulator for conduct and prudential supervision.
In the UK, the FCA (conduct) and PRA (prudential) operate separately — often creating conflicting priorities, duplication and administrative delay. Gibraltar's unified FSC handles licensing, authorisations and regulatory decisions in one house, so firms spend less time on box-ticking and more time on execution and performance for clients.
£120,000 per depositor, aligned with the enhanced UK limit (effective late 2025).
Gibraltar has proactively matched the UK's increased deposit protection threshold. Cash-heavy investors get the same headline safety net they would expect from a UK-authorised institution — inside a more flexible regulatory ecosystem.
Leaner regulator = lower overheads for firms = tighter fees for investors.
The FCA passes its considerable operating costs and levies onto UK firms, which typically flow through to clients via higher management fees and product charges. Gibraltar's more cost-effective regulatory model lets firms run competitive fee structures and pass more of the yield through to end investors.
Proportionate oversight instead of blanket tick-box rules.
The FCA's rulebook is often criticised for one-size-fits-all restrictions that limit choice for sophisticated investors. The FSC takes a proportionate, risk-based approach and engages collaboratively with firms — giving Landmark clients access to a wider, more diverse range of investment products.
Dual alignment with UK standards and EU directives.
Gibraltar sits inside the UK family but retains a special treaty relationship with the EU, keeping alignment with directives such as MiFID. While many UK-only firms lost EU retail reach post-Brexit, a Gibraltar-regulated platform offers seamless geographic diversification across both UK and European markets from a single, well-regulated hub.
Direct access to decision-makers, not a call-centre queue.
The FSC is a small, specialised regulator with open lines to its supervised firms. Issues are surfaced and resolved proactively rather than escalated through an impersonal enforcement machine — a relationship-based culture that materially reduces governance risk before it can touch investor capital.
