How do we differ from other incubators hosting solutions?

- We have in-house Portfolio Managers (Certified Persons)s and use Outsourced Traders if needed so we can also be the Manager with Advisory Services coming from overseas.
- There is a short minimum and no maximum stay, although most firms have to be in the umbrella for a minimum of 6 months, to enable persons to achieve FCA competency levels which we are to sign up.
- We have a number of fee options, please contact us to discuss further. Our competitors are in some cases double our fees.
