What the sources show

Each finding shows its own check date and applies only to the named entity and source; the group file remains incomplete.

Provider licence disclosure ·

Raw Trading Ltd

The former global regulation URL redirects to ic.com. It names Raw Trading Ltd, company 8419879-1, and securities-dealer licence SD018. The provider lists segregated funds; this does not transfer EU protections to this entity.

Sources and scope
Regulator records →

Client-protection evidence ·

IC Markets (EU) Ltd

IC Markets (EU) Ltd states that negative balance protection applies to retail clients, not professionals. Its FAQ also excludes professional clients from the Investor Compensation Fund. Eligibility is entity- and client-category-specific.

Sources and scope
Regulator records →

Entity and residence scope ·

Raw Trading Ltd

The global disclosure excludes residents of the US, Canada, New Zealand, Iran and North Korea, among others. Countries not named are not automatically approved.
