Connaught

What Connaught does

Connaught is a privately-held, multi-jurisdictional financial services firm that operates through four regulated legal entities across the UK, the Netherlands, the United States, and Norway. The UK vehicle, Connaught (UK) Limited (company number 09369134), is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority under reference number 707355 and serves as the regional headquarters from 6th Floor (West), 170 Piccadilly, London. The EU arm, Connaught (EU) B.V. (registration 89623886), is licensed and regulated by the Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets and operates from Keizersgracht 555, Amsterdam; a Norwegian branch (Connaught (EU) B.V. NUF, organisation number 837 265 452) extends that EU footprint into the Nordics. In the United States, Connaught (U.S.) LLC is registered with the SEC and is a member of FINRA and SIPC, operating from 38 E. 19th Street, New York.

The firm publishes a MiFIDPRU 8 Disclosure (dated 31 December 2025), indicating it holds UK investment-firm permissions and is subject to the associated capital, governance, and disclosure regime. Beyond the regulatory disclosures, the public website exposes no product names, service offerings, technology stack, customer segments, pricing, or management team, leaving the specific revenue-generating activity unstated in the available data. The disclosed corporate footprint (three physical offices, four licensed entities, multiple primary regulators) signals a cross-border financial services operation whose precise business model, revenue mechanics, and go-to-market motion are not characterised in the source material.

Connaught presents as an independent private firm with no disclosed parent company, no venture capital or private equity backers identified in the input, and no public ticker. No founding date, funding rounds, M&A activity, partnerships, or product launches were available in the source data, and headcount and revenue figures were not disclosed.
