The UK’s Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) will not have to pay full compensation to clients of collapsed Beaufort Asset Clearing Services after the High Court approved a plan to return client money and assets.
Clients of collapsed Beaufort Securities could lose up to 40% of the value of their holdings to cover liquidation costs, bringing into question the whole system of regulatory and legal protection of investors in the UK, according to campaign group ShareSoc.
The Financial Services Compensation Scheme is aiming to reimburse circa 2,700 clients of defunct Beaufort Asset Clearing Services next month, provided their investment was worth less than £2,000 ($2,802, €2,280).
Clients of the failed discretionary fund management firm Beaufort Securities and its clearing arm, Beaufort Asset Clearing Services, may be now eligible to claim compensation, after the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) declared the two firms in default.
Insolvent discretionary fund manager Beaufort Securities was given a stay of execution by the UK regulator to allow the Federal Bureau of Investigation to finish its undercover operation, it has been revealed.
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has declared discretionary fund management firm Beaufort Securities and its clearing arm, Beaufort Asset Clearing Services, insolvent.
