FCA warning list: not authorised
The UK Financial Conduct Authority added Apex Global Asset (apex-globalassets.com) to its warning list on 6 November 2026. The site sells “Trade and Earn” investment plans with fixed returns measured in hours.
The plans
| Plan | Return | Minimum |
|---|---|---|
| Bronze | 4% after 24 hours | $100 |
| Gold | 6% after 20 hours | $1,000 |
| Silver | 8% after 48 hours | $3,000 |
| Empire | 15% | $16,000, “maximum unlimited” |
Why 4% a day is impossible
Repeat 4% every day for a year and $100 becomes about $166 million. If any platform could do that, it would not need your $100. Fixed daily percentages are how high-yield investment programmes keep new deposits flowing until withdrawals stop.
The domain was registered on 6 May 2025. This is a regulatory warning, not a finding by any court.
Who really gets paid
Look again at the Empire plan: a $16,000 minimum and a “maximum unlimited” deposit. Plans like this are built to move people up the ladder. A small first deposit pays out on time, which builds trust, and the next step is always bigger. In schemes of this kind, early payouts come from newer deposits, not from trading. When the inflow slows, withdrawals stall, and investors are often told to pay a “fee” or “tax” before they can take anything out.
The domain has been registered since May 2025, so the site has had time to collect deposits. Age alone proves nothing either way. What matters is that the FCA, the UK regulator, says this firm is not authorised. If you have sent money, contact your bank first and keep every record of your payments and messages.
