FCMA and Kingdom Futures Limited Announce Joint Venture to Expand Metals Trading Services

FCA-regulated commodity broker Kingdom Futures Limited partners with FCMA on new joint venture in LME base metals and OTC trading.

ST LEONARDS-ON-SEA, UNITED KINGDOM, August 24, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- FCMA Consultancy Ltd (FCMA) and Kingdom Futures Limited today announced a joint venture partnership aimed at strengthening their presence in the metals trading sector. Kingdom Futures Limited is a UK-based commodity brokerage authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority under Firm Reference Number 606298.

The joint venture brings together two complementary capabilities: FCMA's institutional-grade structuring, governance and private capital expertise, and Kingdom Futures' regulatory standing and long-standing operational experience in London Metal Exchange (LME) base metals and over-the-counter (OTC) commodity broking. Together, the two firms will develop and support a structured vehicle through which high-net-worth and sophisticated investors can gain access to returns generated from physical and financial metals trading.

A New Approach to Yield

FCMA was founded by Kevin Hall, a wealth management professional with 30 years' experience advising private clients, family offices and institutions. Hall established FCMA with a clear objective: to offer investors a professionally structured route into an asset class normally reached only through institutional channels, built on defined governance and transparent reporting.

The metals market provides the underlying utility for that objective. LME base metals -- including copper, aluminium, zinc, nickel, lead and tin -- remain among the world's most actively traded commodity classes, driven by global industrial demand, electrification and infrastructure investment. Copper and aluminium, in particular, are central to the energy transition, with demand for electrification, renewable power and electric vehicles expected to grow substantially in the years ahead. The London Metal Exchange itself has served as the global benchmark for base metals pricing for more than a century, providing transparent, regulated price discovery for physical and financial participants alike. OTC commodity markets extend that opportunity further, offering flexible, bilateral structures for professional counterparties seeking tailored exposure to specific metals, tenors and settlement terms.

Under the joint venture, Kingdom Futures provides the trading infrastructure, market access and execution capability, while FCMA provides the structuring, investor framework, governance and reporting. The result is a disciplined framework through which a sophisticated investor base can access the underlying trading activity.

Quote from Kevin Hall, Founder & Director, FCMA

"FCMA was built on a simple conviction: investors should have access to instruments grounded in real assets, with proper governance and transparent reporting," said Kevin Hall, Founder & Director, FCMA. "After 30 years in wealth management, I wanted to create something that put the underlying asset to work properly -- not just in paper markets, but in real, traded commodities with genuine industrial demand. Our partnership with Kingdom Futures gives us exactly that foundation."

Quote from Malcolm Freeman, Director and CEO, Kingdom Futures Limited

"Kingdom Futures has spent years building its position in LME base metals and OTC commodity broking," said Malcolm Freeman, Director and CEO, Kingdom Futures Limited. "Partnering with FCMA allows us to extend that capability to a sophisticated investor base through a professionally structured vehicle. We see real potential in what this joint venture can offer investors looking at this asset class."

Who Can Invest

The FCMA SPV is open to high-net-worth and sophisticated investors, combining institutional-grade structuring and governance with access to trading expertise through its relationship with FCA-regulated Kingdom Futures Limited. The vehicle is designed for investors seeking exposure to metals trading as an alternative asset class. Investors benefit from a structured framework that includes transparent reporting, clear governance and oversight of the underlying trading activity, giving sophisticated clients visibility into how the strategy operates in practice. As with any alternative investment, the vehicle is intended for investors who understand the characteristics of the underlying markets and the risks associated with commodities trading. Capital is at risk and past performance is not a guide to future performance.
