About Capital Index
Capital Index operates two regulated entities and uses the domains capitalindex.com and capitalindexglobal.com. Capital Index (UK) Limited is authorised and regulated by the UK Financial Conduct Authority under FRN 709693, with eligible retail clients covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme up to £85,000. Capital Index (Global) Limited is authorised and regulated by the Securities Commission of The Bahamas with registration number SIA‑F199.
The group offers CFDs and spread betting on forex, indices and commodities, and provides two platforms: MetaTrader 4 (MT4) and its proprietary MarketBOOK. Accounts are available in GBP, EUR and USD; hedging and Expert Advisors (EAs) are permitted. UK pages list two account types—Advanced (minimum deposit 100 GBP/EUR/USD) and Pro (minimum deposit 10,000 GBP/EUR/USD)—with FX spreads “from” 1.4 and 1.0 pips respectively.
Official site MT4Maximum leverage differs by entity: 30:1 for the FCA‑authorised UK firm and up to 200:1 for the SCB‑authorised Bahamas firm. Retail clients benefit from negative balance protection; Capital Index states that elective professional clients do not have negative balance protection. There is no deposit compensation scheme for the Bahamas entity.
