Equiti Capital UK has halted onboarding of new medium and high-risk clients and scaled back its liquidity provision to group entities, signaling a strategic retreat from principal trading activities. The FCA-regulated entity reported a sharp 24 percent revenue decline to $24.4 million for 2025, while profits plummeted to just $33,266 from $530,342 the previous year, according to Companies House filings.
The firm is repositioning toward a lower-risk operating model combining direct client trading and group support services, aiming for more predictable earnings with reduced exposure to trading volatility. Despite the UK unit’s contraction, parent company Equiti Group continues expanding globally with licenses across multiple jurisdictions and recent investments in an Indian tech hub, digital payments acquisition through Cloud Invest, and AI capabilities.
The move reflects growing regulatory pressure and risk management priorities affecting mid-tier brokers in mature markets.

Traders using Equiti UK should anticipate potential service limitations or migration to other group entities as the firm completes its risk-reduction transition.
