Please Note: In April, there was a significant drop in the firm's net capital. This decrease is related to FXCM fulfilling its tax obligations. Last year was a terrific year for FXCM with the firm hitting all-time volume highs, and as a result, the ownership of FXCM made payments of nearly $50 Million towards fulfilling taxes due. However, even after such payments, FXCM Holdings, LLC has over $100 Million in firm capital, of which $60,472,142 is held by the firm's US registered entity, Forex Capital Markets LLC.* The remaining capital is held by FXCM's other entities, including regulated entities in Australia, Dubai, Canada, Hong Kong and the United Kingdom.
