About blackrockcoltd

The website associated with the broker is blackrockcoltd.com. No regulator, licence number, trading platform, account type, minimum deposit, leverage, spreads, commissions, base currency, swap-free terms, negative-balance protection, or trading-policy details are established by the cited primary sources.

The FCA warning titled “Black Rock Ltd (Clone)” states that the named firm was not authorised by the FCA and was contacting people while pretending to be an authorised firm. The FCA identified the genuine firm as BlackRock Advisors (UK) Limited, FRN 119186, and stated that it had no connection with the clone firm. The warning was first published on 13 April 2015 and last updated on 15 April 2021. The FCA notice does not list blackrockcoltd.com, so it does not establish that this domain is the firm named in that warning.

BlackRock states that its official employee email addresses end in @blackrock.com and warns about websites and domains created to resemble genuine company domains. Its official corporate website is blackrock.com, not blackrockcoltd.com.
