Reason for this visit

According to the Reuters, the United Kingdom has expanded its leading position in the field of global FX trading in the years since it voted to leave the European Union. In addition, the British retail foreign exchange market has one of the world's three most stringent regulatory bodies, that is the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). Many FX dealers take obtaining FCA regulation for pride, and also hope to enter the country to develop market business. To help investors or practitioners have a more comprehensive understanding of the dealers in that country, the survey team is going to UK for site visits.

On-site visit

This time the survey team went to London, UK to visit the foreign exchange dealer GFI Securities as planned. The survey address is BroadGaTe QuarTer, 7Th Floor One Snowden STreeT London EC2A 2DQ UNITED KINGDOM.

The survey personnel came to the destination of the survey based on the above address, which is located in an office building at One Snowden STreeT in London, England. It is a modern building and is not in a downtown area. There are not many people nearby.

The investigators found the sign of the building, which showed that there was no logo of the foreign exchange dealer GFI Securities on the 7th floor.

Conclusion

The investigators went to visit GFI Securities, a foreign exchange dealer in London, UK as planned. They did not find the dealer's office at its regulatory address. This is a situation of untrue regulation. Investors are advised to choose this dealer carefully.
