A Global Heritage

Financial Strength

Cantor Index is part of a group that is rated by the credit agencies. The Cantor group’s financial strength stems from having a liquid balance sheet and a sizeable liquidity pool combined with prudent liquidity management. Further to this the group has low unsecured credit risk and very limited direct market risk. Such factors are crucial in these testing times and should instil confidence in our clients.

Client Money Protection

Cantor Index is governed by FSA regulations when holding client money and must make arrangements to safeguard it from losses should Cantor Index fail. Cantor Index segregates client money by placing it into accounts with approved banks. This means it is completely separate from Cantor's own money. Cantor Index is required by FSA regulations to place client money with a number of banks in order to mitigate the risk of any one bank’s failure.

Spread Bets are leveraged products placing your capital at risk.

You should ensure you fully understand the risks and seek independent financial advice if necessary. These products are not intended for people under the age of 18 or for US residents.
