FNG Exclusive… FNG has learned that London based, FCA licensed CFDs broker Capital Index has been sold by controlling shareholder Greg Secker. The company is also in process of rebranding to Vantos Markets.

Forex trading coach Greg Secker had initially bought control of the company in 2016. The group operates FCA licensed Capital Index (UK) Limited – now renamed Vantos Markets (UK) Limited – as well as offshore via Bahamas domiciled Capital Index (Global) Limited.

Regulatory filings indicate that the new ownership is held via a British Virgin Islands company called Vinalytics Limited. No other information was yet made available regarding the identity of the new owner(s).

Regarding the changes, the company provided to FNG a brief statement indicating that this strategic transition marks a significant milestone in the company’s evolution, positioning Vantos Markets for accelerated growth, enhanced product offerings, and an even stronger focus on delivering a best-in-class trading experience to clients worldwide.

While the ownership structure has changed, the firm confirmed that it retains the same experienced management team and directors who have been instrumental in building the company’s strong reputation for professionalism, regulatory integrity, and client service.

Robert Woolfe, Managing Director of Capital Index (and now Vantos Markets) said,

“This is an important step forward for the business. The launch of Vantos Markets reflects not only a new identity, but also a renewed commitment to innovation, scale, and continuous improvement. Clients can expect the same trusted leadership, now backed by greater resources and ambition for the future.”

Continuity and Confidence

The company indicated that clients and partners can be assured that day-to-day operations will remain seamless, with the business continuing to uphold the high standards of governance, compliance, and service that have defined Capital Index (UK).

Looking Ahead

In the coming months, Vantos Markets plans to roll out a range of new products, platform enhancements, and improvements designed to elevate the overall client experience. This forward-looking roadmap will support the company’s mission to become a leading force in the global CFD brokerage space, offering traders more choice, more value, and more advanced tools to support their trading journey.
