Guardian Invest Review

About Guardian Invest

Guardian Invest operates via the domain guardianinvest.co and holds no regulatory authorisations from recognised financial authorities. The UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) identified it as a clone of an authorised firm—Guardian Stockbrokers Ltd (FRN 492519)—and listed it on its Warning List with the resolution published on 09 August 2023 and updated on 04 December 2023. This entity holds no connection to the legitimate Guardian Stockbrokers Ltd.

Additional regulatory authorities have issued warnings regarding Guardian Invest’s unauthorised operations: Spain’s CNMV on 11 September 2023; France’s AMF on 12 October 2023; British Columbia’s BCSC on 14 November 2023; and Ireland’s Central Bank (CBI) on 15 March 2024—each confirming the absence of authorisation and cautioning consumers against engaging with this broker.

Trading conditions, asset classes, platforms, account types, deposit requirements, spreads or leverage details are not confirmed by any primary source. Independent reviews (e.g., on ForexBrokerz and WikiFX) attribute characteristics such as WebTrader platform, minimum deposit of USD 250, leverage up to 1:100, and instruments including forex, indices, stocks, commodities, and cryptocurrencies—but these details are not verifiable through official documentation.
