How can we help?

For Advisers

For Customers

LCA is structured as a Protected Cell Company (PCC)

A PCC is a limited company which has been divided into distinct portions or segments (known as Cells). When a customer purchases any product from LCA, the product (their policy) will be linked to one of the legally recognised Cells that has been created within LCA.

The PCC structure affords a high level of protection for investors

Since all the assets and liabilities associated with the customer’s policy are totally distinct from those of any other Cell, one customer’s investment choices are completely safeguarded from another customer’s investment choices.

Our products

Based in Gibraltar

Gibraltar, a British overseas territory, is located at the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula of mainland Europe and is the home of LCA.

It is a self-governing well-regulated financial centre with robust regulatory standards.

The Gibraltar Financial Services Commission (GFSC) is the local supervisory body responsible for monitoring the financial services industry.

The GFSC continues to provide support and regularly collaborates with the industry as well as closely mirroring the regulatory regime in the UK.

The Financial Action Task Force, the global anti-money laundering watchdog, also recognises Gibraltar as a responsible and transparent financial centre, dedicated to upholding the highest standards of compliance with its international obligations.
