Startrader Financial Markets Limited (Mauritius) has increased the aggregate limit of its client fund insurance from USD 1 million to USD 30 million, effective from 1 October 2026.
The policy, underwritten by Arch and other Lloyd's of London syndicates, covers available client balances and collateral supporting open positions. It responds above a per-client retention in circumstances where insolvency coincides with covered misconduct.
The cover applies only to eligible clients of this entity and does not extend to other STARTRADER entities. It sits alongside the firm's existing segregation of client funds from company assets.

Peter Karsten, Chief Executive Officer, STARTRADER said:
"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."
The higher limit takes effect automatically from 1 October 2026, with no action required from clients. Claims must be submitted to the appointed insolvency practitioner, accompanied by an Investor Compensation Claim Form, within 12 months of the insolvency event.
STARTRADER is a global multi-asset broker providing retail and institutional partners with access to global markets across platforms including MetaTrader, STARTRADER APP, and STAR Copy. The firm is regulated in five jurisdictions: the CMA, ASIC, FSCA, FSA, and FSC.
