Virtu Financial Planning Ltd (UK Company No. 11984250) was a company incorporated in May 2019 and formally dissolved in October 2021. It was never authorized by the UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) to provide regulated financial services. The firm operated as a "clone firm," illegitimately using the name and details similar to the legitimately authorized firm, Virtu Financial, to deceive and solicit investors in the UK and Europe. Financial regulators issued public warnings in 2020, clarifying that the entity was not permitted to provide investment services and that any investors dealing with the firm would not be protected by financial compensation schemes.
