Summary
Prosper Capital, a Guildford-based alternative investment manager regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority since 2006, has entered creditors' voluntary liquidation following property-related complaints from investors. The FCA confirmed the liquidation on 20 July 2026, triggering a formal compensation claims process through the Financial Services Compensation Scheme.
The firm's appointed representative, Crowd2Let Capital, has become the focal point of investor grievances, with complaints centered on property-linked investments. Prosper Capital acted as principal to Crowd2Let Capital and managed a range of alternative assets including property investments, enterprise investment schemes, and various alternative investment funds. The specific nature and scale of complaints remain undisclosed, though the volume and severity appear sufficient to warrant the firm's entry into formal liquidation proceedings.
The FSCS has formally opened its claims process for affected investors, though a critical timeline constraint applies: the compensation body stated that formal assessments of claims will not begin until its investigation into Crowd2Let Capital's activities is complete. This investigative phase introduces uncertainty regarding the timing of potential compensation distributions. The FSCS typically covers eligible claims up to £85,000 per person per firm, though final compensation determinations depend on the investigation's findings and the classification of losses as eligible under FSCS rules.
The liquidation reflects ongoing regulatory pressures within the alternative investment sector, particularly regarding property-linked investment structures. Institutional investors and family offices with exposure to Prosper Capital or Crowd2Let Capital should prioritize submission of formal claims to the FSCS and monitor investigation developments, as the resolution timeline and compensation levels remain contingent on investigative outcomes.
