Unclassified RIPE
Summary
Elliott Advisors UK
finance business enterprise
An investment firm announcing another region's address space from the United Kingdom, on two blocks and nothing else.
What it's used for
- An investment manager's network. Two IPv4
/24s announced from the United Kingdom, no IPv6, five hundred and twelve addresses, across two observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- Both blocks come from a range issued through a registry that serves a different part of the world from the one the holder and the announcement sit in.
- The registrant is an associated partnership rather than the company named in the routing record, and the second contact is that name with two words for an organisation administrator.
- The holder's legal form is written inside parentheses at the end of its name.
- The netname is the brand run together with a contraction of the word for management, with no hyphen, no country code and no date.
- The routing archive first saw this number three years after the numbers issued around it.
- Six addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- Five hundred and twelve addresses is a whole firm's internet presence, and for an investment manager that is the point. What matters is the private circuits to brokers and exchanges, which never appear in a routing table.
- Addresses follow the office that first asked for them, not the office that uses them. A block issued in one region and announced in another usually means the network grew outward from a headquarters and nobody renumbered.

Peering at a glance
Internet exchanges
No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-19, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 442 networks and 1,783 prefixes, as published 2026-10-20. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
