Lad Asset Management Limited Review

About Lad Asset Management Limited

Lad Asset Management Limited is not authorised by the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) to provide financial services or products in the UK. The FCA issued a public warning on 2 May 2023 stating that the firm may be offering services without authorisation and advising consumers to avoid dealing with it. The FCA warning includes the firm’s purported address—65 Eaton Square, Belgravia, London, SW1W 9BQ—and website www.ladassetmanagementltd.org. The warning emphasises that customers of this firm are not protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) or covered by the Financial Ombudsman Service ().

A regulatory alert from Washington State's Department of Financial Institutions (DFI), dated 22 December 2025, highlights that a similarly named firm, LAD Asset Management LLC, has reportedly been engaged in fraudulent activity, including advance-fee scams involving cryptocurrency and coercive demands for payments such as "funeral expenses." The alert notes investor losses of around $350,000. Although this pertains to a differently structured entity (LLC vs Limited), it further reinforces concerns about firms using similar names to perpetrate scams ().
