Reasons for Client Compensation Claims
Clients or counterparties may be able to make a claim if they:
- Transferred funds through a Stunt & Co–linked platform or adviser
- Invested in products introduced or promoted by Stunt & Co
- Experienced financial loss or delays in accessing their money
- Relied on false assurances or misleading information about fund safety
Stunt & Co was a gold-precious-metals refinement/trading business (not a conventional retail investment firm). While Stunt & Co itself may not have been FCA regulated to hold client money, claims may be possible against associated regulated parties, such as advisers, introducers, or financial institutions who failed in their duties.
Background
- Reported loss linked to case: £46.8 million
- FCA enforcement action: Barclays fined £42 million in 2025 for due diligence failures
- Nature of services: Investment and business support with unclear oversight
- Status: Stunt & Co was the subject of a regulatory review, is in liquidation, and its director was acquitted of money-laundering charges. It is not authorised to hold client money
Why can you claim for compensation or redress against Stunt & Co?
Although Stunt & Co is not an FCA-authorised firm in the traditional retail investment sense, if a regulated adviser or financial platform facilitated your involvement with them, you may have grounds for compensation. In some cases, the failure of a regulated bank or intermediary to carry out proper due diligence may give rise to a complaint or legal claim.
Who was involved?
Stunt & Co is linked to wider compliance failings involving Barclays Bank and its handling of high-risk client relationships. Specific individuals connected to the investigation have not been disclosed publicly but are subject to ongoing regulatory and criminal inquiries.
Appointed Representatives and Agents
There is no public record of Stunt & Co acting as an appointed representative of any regulated firm. However, if your involvement came via a regulated adviser, introducer, or firm who arranged or facilitated the investment, they may still be liable for your loss.
