The verdict

FCA-regulated execution plus an allocation programme that funds consistent track records.

Darwinex is an asset manager with a brokerage attached. Trade the account, publish the track record, and if the risk-adjusted numbers hold up, investor capital can follow. That focus explains the £500 minimum and business-hours support. It isn’t built for casual accounts.
