Purpose

The UK foreign exchange market is one of the globally significant forex markets formed through a long-term development process, characterized by a long history, active trading, and strict regulation. It holds a crucial position in global foreign exchange transactions, with numerous international financial institutions and forex brokers conducting business here. To help investors or practitioners gain a more comprehensive understanding of forex brokers in this region, the team traveled to the UK for on-site visits.

Process

The team is scheduled to travel to the United Kingdom for an on-site visit to the forex broker FORTIS EQUITY & RESERVE. According to public information, its office address is The Gherkin, 30 St Mary Axe, London, EC3A 8BF, waiting United Kingdom.

A professional and experienced team, driven by a sense of mission to rigorously vet for investors, proceeded according to a meticulous plan to the target area in the UK. They conducted an on-site verification of the broker FORTIS EQUITY & RESERVE, which claims to be located at The Gherkin 30 St Mary Axe, London, EC3A 8BF, waiting United Kingdom.

The team successfully arrived at the target building,  which is situated in a bustling area of London with a prosperous surrounding environment and a strong commercial atmosphere. However, no company logo or related information about this broker was found on the exterior of the building.

The team entered the building lobby and stated their purpose to the security personnel. After communication, they were granted entry permission. There was no information about this company on the internal directory board. Upon inquiry, security personnel stated that there was no such company.

Consequently, they were unable to reach the target floor to confirm the specific location, nor did they find any clear signage for the broker's office area. In this regard, they could not enter the interior and were unable to photograph the reception area or logo. The office space was also not a shared office.

The inspection personnel did not find any information about this broker from Chinese sources, leading to the judgment that it is false. From the lobby area, the internal company environment could not be observed, and the overall situation did not match its claimed positioning.

Therefore, after the on-site inspection, it was confirmed that broker FORTIS EQUITY & RESERVE does not exist at the aforementioned address.

Conclusion

The team visited the forex broker FORTIS EQUITY & RESERVE at its public business address in the UK as planned, but could not find information such as the broker's company name at the location, indicating that the broker does not have a genuine physical business premises. Investors are advised to make their choice after comprehensive consideration.
