Global Prime — the liquidity layer, one venue at a time
Global Prime, an ECN/agency-model FX and CFD provider, plays a key role in market structure by offering both retail and wholesale trading services under tier 1 and tier 3 licenses.
FMGP Trading Group Pty Ltd · Level 10, 627 Chapel St, South Yarra VIC 3141, Australia · evidence score 82/100
Licence, read on the register
| Regulator | Licence number | Jurisdiction | Tier | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ASIC | 385620 | Australia | tier-1 | open source ↗ |
| VFSC | 40256 (company number) | Vanuatu | tier-3 | open source ↗ |
Tier classification follows the same scale as the retail register: tier-2 means real supervision and client-money segregation, without an investor compensation scheme — never misread it as tier-1 protection.

A firm that publishes its own negative space — who it refuses, where it is not licensed — is materially easier to assess than one that doesn't. The refusal list is treated here as disclosure, not as a defect.
