Purpose

The UK foreign exchange market is a long-established and highly developed international forex market. As one of the core hubs of global forex trading, it is characterized by large trading volumes, long trading hours, and a large number of market participants. It holds a pivotal position in the global forex market, with many internationally renowned financial institutions conducting forex business there. To help investors or practitioners gain a more comprehensive understanding of forex brokers in this region, the survey team traveled to the UK for an on-site inspection.

Process

In this issue, the on-site investigation team went to the UK as planned to visit the forex broker Astra Montis. According to public information, its office address is Flat 3 Carlton Mansions, 16 - 17 York Buildings, London, United Kingdom, WC2N 6LS.

A professional and experienced on-site inspection team, with a sense of mission to implement strict checks for investors, went to the United Kingdom according to a well-planned schedule. They carried out an on-site verification of the broker Astra Montis, which is claimed to be located at Flat 3 Carlton Mansions, 16 - 17 York Buildings, London, United Kingdom, WC2N 6LS.

The inspectors arrived smoothly at the target building. The site is located in the core area of London, with a bustling surrounding and a strong commercial atmosphere. However, no corporate signage or related information of Astra Montis was found on the exterior of the building.

The inspectors entered the lobby and stated their purpose to the security guard. After a brief communication, they were granted permission to enter.

However, no company nameplate of Astra Montis was found inside the building, and no LOGO was observed either. Because there was no floor indication or other information about the broker, they could not reach a specific floor or confirm its exact location. Naturally, they could not enter the company's premises, nor could they take photos of the reception area or its LOGO. The office is not a shared office.

After arriving, they confirmed that the address was correct, but found no information about the broker. The security guard was asked and said that this company did not exist, leading to the conclusion that it was spurious. Through the lobby area, since they were unable to enter the interior, they could not observe the company's internal working environment. The overall situation does not match its claimed positioning.

Therefore, after the on-site inspection, it was confirmed that the broker Astra Montis does not exist at the above address.

Conclusion

The site inspection team traveled to the UK as planned to conduct an on-site visit to forex broker Astra Montis. At its publicly displayed business address, the company name and other information of the broker could not be found, indicating that the broker does not have a real place of business. Investors are advised to make their decision after comprehensive consideration.
