The aggregate cover increases thirtyfold from USD 1 million, applies to available balances and open positions in the event of insolvency, and remains free to clients.
PORT LOUIS, Mauritius, Sept. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Startrader Financial Markets Limited (Mauritius) has raised the aggregate limit of its client fund insurance, underwritten by Arch and other Lloyd’s of London syndicates, from USD 1 million to USD 30 million, effective October 1, 2026. The policy covers available balances and collateral supporting open positions, responding above a per-client retention where insolvency coincides with covered misconduct.
Client fund protection increasingly shapes broker choice. Because insolvency is remote, cover size often goes unexamined until it matters, making early action a governance decision, not a marketing one.
The policy covers only eligible clients of this entity, not other STARTRADER entities, and complements its segregation of client funds from company assets.
“Insurance is not something clients think about on a good day. It matters on the worst one, and a ceiling that only looks adequate until it is tested is not much of a ceiling.”
– Peter Karsten, CEO, STARTRADER
The higher limit will apply automatically from October 1, 2026, with no action required. Claims must be submitted to the appointed insolvency practitioner, with an Investor Compensation Claim Form, within 12 months of the insolvency event.
