- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis as they do not intend to liquidate the Company or to cease its operations, and as they have concluded that the Company's financial position means that this is realistic. They have also concluded that there are no material uncertainties that could have cast significant doubt over its ability to continue as a going concern for at least a year from the date of approval of the financial statements ("the going concern period").”
Significant events
- “In 2024, the Company was repurposed after the Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") approved its variation of regulatory permissions to provide Buy-Side Trading Solution ("BTS") operations on behalf of investment management companies within the BNY Group. The Company was renamed to BNY XBK (UK) Limited and subsequently sold to its current immediate parent, BNY Mellon Capital Markets Holdings Inc. The Company expects to commence new business activity in 2026.”
- “The Company did not conduct any business activity during 2025, having previously acted as Trustee or Depositary to Authorised Collective Investment Schemes and Alternative Investment Funds. In 2024, its issued share capital was reduced to £1,000 and an interim dividend was paid to its then immediate parent, TrustCo. Subsequently, the Company was sold to its current immediate parent, BNY Mellon Capital Markets Holdings Inc. and received a £2m capital injection.”
