About Atlantic Capital Markets
Atlantic Capital Markets is one of the UK’s few fully regulated, independent multi-asset advisory brokers. As a privately owned and operated firm, our focus remains exactly where it should be: on our clients.
We provide strategies and services across a broad range of instruments—including Shares, Options, and Derivatives—ensuring investors have the tools and guidance needed to navigate today’s markets with confidence.
A Relationship-Driven Approach
We offer a straightforward, personal service built on trust and genuine relationships. Whether you’re a seasoned investor or just beginning to grow your portfolio, our advisory model adapts to your needs. All clients benefit from a complimentary subscription to our real-time equity trade alerts, included as part of the service.
Tailored Support, Your Way
Our service is designed to enhance your own investment approach:
- Work with a personally assigned adviser who can review your ideas alongside ours,
- or if execution only is more your profile then you will be allocated a relationship-manager to support you with all your trading needs.
In today’s increasingly automated world, good old-fashioned service is hard to find. At Atlantic, we make it our priority to deliver a truly personal experience—reliable, responsive, and aligned with your goals.
Why go it alone, when you can have Atlantic by your side?
Our Team
Gareth
Gareth Hazelden is an entrepreneur driven by the belief that every challenge holds the potential for opportunity. With a career shaped by resilience, curiosity, and a commitment to strategic clarity, he co-founded Atlantic Capital Markets to bring a more personal, relationship-led approach to modern trading and market execution.
Drawing on years of industry experience, the firm was built around three core principles: sharp execution, trusted guidance, and genuine partnership. His focus is on empowering clients—from private investors to growing businesses—to navigate the financial markets with clarity, agility, and confidence. He’s known for combining market insight with a grounded, human touch, ensuring clients never feel lost in the noise of complex financial environments.
His entrepreneurial mindset fuels continual innovation, whether he’s refining the firm’s approach to risk management, improving client engagement, or exploring strategic expansions. Gareth’s philosophy is simple: success comes from understanding people as much as understanding markets. He brings this belief into every relationship he builds, shaping a firm that stands for integrity, clarity, and long-term growth—not just for itself, but for every client it serves.
