Clients

Who we work with

Forte acts only for clients classified as Professional Clients or Eligible Counterparties under MiFID II. We do not provide services to retail clients.

Investment banks

Flow and structured desks that need liquidity and anonymity in credit, rates and derivatives.

Asset managers

Long-only institutions that execute in size in developed and emerging markets.

Hedge funds

Managers that need access to volatility, credit and emerging-market liquidity.

Sovereign & supranational

Official institutions and sovereign funds that transact through regulated intermediaries.

Family offices

Single and multi-family offices that meet the professional-client tests.

UHNW professional clients

Individuals who qualify for, and choose, professional-client treatment under MiFID II.

Group services

Services beyond broking

Four further capabilities sit alongside the broking business. Each operates apart from the firm’s broking and OTF activity, and some are provided by affiliated entities under their own regulatory permissions.

Custody

Safekeeping and settlement of client assets, with segregated accounts and asset servicing for institutional holders.

Asset management

Discretionary portfolio management for professional investors and family offices, run separately from the broking desks.

Private markets

Arranged access to private placements and unlisted opportunities for professional investors able to bear illiquidity.

Securitisation

Arranging and structuring of asset-backed issuance for originators and the institutional investors who fund them.
