Moneda Capital Review - FCA Acts to Freeze Assets

By J Drew -

 Yet another "alternative" investment platform has been shut down by the FCA. Moneda Capital was somewhat more blatant than others in that it was claiming to offer savings accounts via its Savings Hub yet the banks listed as being recipients of the funds had no knowledge of Moneda Capital using them.

We'll have to wait to see what the FCA find when they investigate but the fact they have shut them down and frozen the assets of the company isn't a great sign. The Moneda Capital website is no longer available and the only message shown is the FCA investigation warning. There is no way to click off the warning to see the rest of the site.

Moneda Capital Review - FCA Acts to Freeze Assets


It's very worrying that there are investors on their Trustpilot review page that say they have put their life savings into Moneda's Savings Hub with one claiming to have over £300,000 placed with them. If that's the case there could be many investors out of pocket.

There were warnings here about Moneda Capital but sadly on Money Saving Expert the warnings were removed due to legal threats from Moneda Capital legal team.


The FCA statement quoted by Moneda says: 

As you may be aware, we are under investigation by the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”). A full asset restraint order took effect on 2 September 2025. At this stage, the FCA does not wish for us to provide any details beyond confirming that an investigation is ongoing. Anyone seeking further information should be directed to the FCA directly at 020 7066 1000 (Case Reference: UB00019).

London Capital & Finance Trial 2024 - Latest Court News

By J Drew -

The trial of various individuals associated with LCF (London Capital and Finance) started in Feb 2024. There seems little mainstream coverage of the proceedings, probably because they are quite technical and maybe generally of interest to a small group of affected investors. However I've found an excellent resource that is giving daily transcripts of the proceedings and to say they were enlightening would be an understatement. As someone who has been involved in investigating LCF for nearly 8 years it is fascinating to read the behind the scenes details of how the company was setup and how accurate some of my summaries were. Sadly many of the details couldn't be published at the time because without more evidence they would have been considered libellous but the emails from LCF now show how their scheme was planned from the start.

Investment in Concept Capital Group is being promoted on Facebook and Rightmove to solicit investment in their static caravans for rental to social housing tenants via Social Park Housing. Concept Capital Group are claiming to guarantee rental income of 10% but as investors in London Capital & Finance are fully aware, this sort of guarantee is fully dependent on the company making it still being in business. If the company fails for any reason then there will be no-one to support the guarantee or to return money to investors.  Update November 2024: It's reported on MSE that investors are struggling to get repayments of their investments with various excuses. If the company fails your guarantee disappears. Concept Capital Group have only existed since 2019 so have no track record of honouring investment guarantees over the long term.

Where are the People and assets behind LCF & their agent Surge Financial? London Capital & Finance owned a helicopter purchased by Andy Thomson. LCF helicopter seized This has now been seized and is being held at Shoreham Airport in Sussex. According to the administrators one of the loans of £12 million was to a stables called Home Farm originally run by Spencer Golding but now owned by Sean Cubitt who was unable to provide any paperwork for the purchase of the company or for any of the horses. There were originally 85 horses apparently with a combined values of £15 million according to the owners but when the administrators visited they could only see 35 that had a value of less than £10,000 each. Sean Cubitt claimed that there was no bank account for the company that runs Home Farm. So a company with no bank account was loaned £12 million by LCF. Yet another example of the lies they told to investors about their lending process. We understand that the val...
