Capital Index UK Limited, a UK-based CFD broker, has changed its legal name to Vantos Markets UK Limited, according to filings published by Companies House.

The rebrand follows a period of financial pressure for the UK arm of the broker. Capital Index UK reduced its losses in 2024, returning to a pre-tax profit position, although it remained loss-making after tax amid a challenging retail trading environment.

Companies House Confirms Broker Name Change

The name change was registered today (Thursday), following a special resolution passed by the company’s members a day earlier. The company remains incorporated in England and Wales as a private company limited by shares and continues to operate under the same company number.

Companies House issued a new certificate of incorporation reflecting the updated name under the Companies Act. The filing indicates that the change was authenticated electronically by the Registrar of Companies and does not reference any amendments to the firm’s corporate structure or ownership.

CFD Broker Rebrands Without Regulatory Changes

Capital Index has operated as an FCA-regulated provider of contracts for difference, offering leveraged trading across multiple asset classes. The Companies House documents do not suggest that the rebrand is accompanied by changes to the firm’s regulatory permissions or business activities.

The company has not publicly disclosed the rationale behind the rebranding, and no further details were provided in the filing.

UK CFD Broker Reports Net Loss

For the year ended 31 December 2024, the company reported a pre-tax profit of £23,678, compared with a pre-tax loss of £207,006 a year earlier. However, it still recorded a net loss of £18,247 after tax, marking a second consecutive year without net profitability.

Turnover declined by more than 17% year-on-year, while administrative costs continued to outweigh gross profit, with directors citing cost-of-living pressures and weaker client activity in the UK market.
