Startrader Financial Markets (Mauritius) has raised the aggregate limit of its client fund insurance, underwritten by Arch and other Lloyd's of London syndicates, from $1m to $30m, effective 1 October 2026.
The higher limit will apply automatically from 1 October 2026, with no action required. Claims must be submitted to the appointed insolvency practitioner, with an Investor Compensation Claim Form, within 12 months of the insolvency event.
The policy covers available balances and collateral supporting open positions, responding above a per-client retention where insolvency coincides with covered misconduct.
Client fund protection increasingly shapes broker choice. Because insolvency is remote, cover size often goes unexamined until it matters, making early action a governance decision, not a marketing one.
The policy covers only eligible clients of this entity, not other Startrader entities, and complements its segregation of client funds from company assets.
