This decision took place on October 19th, 2015. It is understood that the firm applied to renounce the authorisation to provide investment services, which was accepted by the FCA. Yet, the company was still registered on the list held by CONSOB, of European Union investment companies authorised to operate in Italy without establishing a branch.

Having renounced earlier with the FCA, it is now clear that the firm is no longer authorized to carry out the activities in the foreign markets, for which it was previously licensed.
