EU & offshore financial services licensing

In recent years, FAI Comply has assisted a number of the leading Forex and traditional brokers to obtain authorisation across a number of jurisdictions both as dealing desk and non-dealing desk models.

In addition, FAI Comply's experience extends to portfolio management and investment advice firms, where the art and science of making decisions about investment mix and policy and matching investments to objectives is key.

​

Due to the vast amount of advice and management available, particularly online, investors are looking to ensure the safety of their funds and a benchmark for those providing the financial services prior to investing. Regulation and licensing provides assurance to investors.
