| FXCM is a registered Futures Commission Merchant (FCM) with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and is a member of the National Futures Association (NFA). As a vocal advocate of foreign exchange regulation and increased investor protection, FXCM is proud to be one of the first foreign exchange firms to register as an FCM following the passage of the Commodity Modernization Act in December 2000. There are three main benefits for FXCM clients and potential clients:
Financial Standards and Oversight
FCMs are required to meet strict financial standards, including capital adequacy requirements. On a regular basis, FCMs are required to submit financial reports to regulators. These standards are enforced by the NFA, which has the right to fine firms and/or terminate an FCM's regulatory status for violations.
Greater Transparency Of Business Practices
The National Futures Association keeps records of all formal proceedings against Futures Commission Merchants. With a couple clicks of the mouse, a trader can find out if the firm has had serious problems with clients or regulators. Information can be found online at: http://www.nfa.futures.org/basicnet/
A Framework For Dispute Resolution
The U.S. regulatory framework is widely regarded as one of the best in the world for investor protection. If a dispute with an FCM arises, investors can turn to the NFA or the CFTC.
