JustMarkets vs Vantage
Compare safety scores, regulators and the legal entity responsible for each trading account.
The number of licences alone is not enough. Verify the legal entity that will hold your account.
4 registered licences • 4.10 out of 5
JustMarkets emphasizes client protection features such as segregated accounts and negative balance protection in its official materials. Its trust profile is practical, though the strength of safeguards still depends on the operating entity.
JustMarkets states that client funds are held separately from the company’s operating funds. Negative balance protection is also available under the conditions of the relevant account and legal entity, helping prevent eligible clients from being required to cover a negative balance caused by exceptional market movements.
The legal strength of these safeguards is not identical for every JustMarkets client. Client-money rules, investor compensation arrangements and complaint procedures may differ between the CySEC-regulated entity and international entities regulated in Seychelles, Mauritius or the British Virgin Islands. Traders should confirm the legal company responsible for their account before depositing.
4 registered licences • 4.40 out of 5
Vantage operates through entities regulated in several jurisdictions, including Vantage Global Prime Pty Ltd, authorised by ASIC under licence number 428901, and Vantage Global Prime LLP, authorised by the UK FCA under licence number 590299. The group also uses international entities supervised by CIMA in the Cayman Islands and the VFSC in Vanuatu for markets not covered by its main entities.
The level of oversight and protection at Vantage depends on the legal company under which the account is opened. FCA and ASIC entities operate under stricter requirements, while international entities may offer higher leverage and more flexible trading conditions with different complaint procedures and legal rights.
When comparing Vantage licences, traders should identify the entity shown in the account-opening agreement and match its number with the regulator’s official register. This is particularly important for traders interested in low-spread accounts or active trading, because attractive trading conditions should always be assessed together with the regulatory protection that actually applies.
Vantage client fund protection depends on the legal entity through which the trading account is opened. The Australian entity follows ASIC client-money requirements and states that eligible funds are held in segregated accounts, while other Vantage entities apply the rules of their respective regulators. Negative balance protection may also be available for eligible clients and accounts.
These arrangements do not provide one identical guarantee across the entire Vantage group. Client rights, investor compensation eligibility and complaint procedures may differ between entities regulated by ASIC, FCA, CIMA and VFSC. Traders should verify the company named in their account agreement and the protection applying to their funds before depositing.
Before depositing, match the legal entity and licence number in your client agreement with the regulator’s official register.
