FXCM, or Forex Capital Markets, is an online financial-services company that provides trading and related services in the foreign exchange and contracts-for-difference (CFD) markets. Its offerings have included access to currency pairs, commodities, equity indices and other leveraged products, depending on the client’s jurisdiction and applicable regulations.
The company has served retail and institutional clients through electronic trading platforms, including its proprietary Trading Station platform and support for third-party platforms such as MetaTrader 4. FXCM has also provided educational resources, market analysis, automated trading tools and technology solutions designed to support individual traders, brokers and other financial institutions.
FXCM was founded in 1999 and expanded internationally through operations and regulated entities serving clients in regions including North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and other global markets. Its business and product availability have varied by jurisdiction because of local regulatory requirements. Drew Niv was among the company’s founders and served as its chief executive for many years, while Brendan Callan subsequently became associated with the leadership of FXCM’s operating business.
The OTC Markets symbol GLBR is historically associated with Global Brokerage, Inc., the former publicly traded holding company connected with FXCM. Global Brokerage changed its name from FXCM Inc. and underwent Chapter 11 restructuring in 2017. The FXCM operating business and the former public holding company should therefore be distinguished when evaluating the company’s corporate history.
