What this means

Across a hundred brokers, the licence is what separates the field fastest.

Alpari lists its regulation as Mwali International Services Authority (MISA), T2023236.

Client money is held separately from the firm's own money, at Regulated banking institutions. That separation is what makes your balance recoverable if the company fails, rather than part of the pool its creditors divide up.

Negative balance protection applies, so a losing position cannot take the account below zero and leave you owing the broker money.

Covered by No statutory investor compensation scheme, which pays eligible clients up to its limit if the firm fails owing client money.
