IUX

What IUX does

IUX is a privately-held multi-asset CFD broker founded in 2016 and headquartered in Ebene, Mauritius, operating under a multi-jurisdictional regulatory footprint spanning FSC Mauritius (primary), FSA Saint Vincent & the Grenadines, ASIC Australia, and FSCA South Africa. The platform delivers access to 165+ CFD instruments across currencies, commodities, stocks, indices, cryptocurrencies, and thematic indices, served through three account tiers: Standard (spread-based from 0.2 pips, $50 minimum), Raw (0.0 pip spreads + $7/lot commission, $200 minimum), and Pro (0.1 pip spreads, $200 minimum). The firm distributes entirely via digital self-serve channels — its proprietary IUX Trade App, the TradingView-powered IUX WebTerminal, and MetaTrader 5 — supplemented by event sponsorship in emerging markets across Asia, Africa, and Latin America.

The underlying technology stack combines private fiber-optic cross-connects, deep liquidity aggregation from 25+ tier-1 providers, algorithmic spread monitoring, and DDoS-protected infrastructure delivering sub-30ms execution speeds. IUX also offers an IUX Education platform with Articles, Academy, and Podcasts content pillars, Myfxbook analytics integration, and supplementary products including Islamic swap-free accounts, guaranteed stop-losses, and thematic index CFDs (via BITA) for exposure to AI, clean energy, biotech, and digital innovation megatrends.

IUX's business model is transaction-based, monetizing spread markups, per-lot commissions on Raw accounts, swap/overnight financing, and client capital deployment through leverage (up to 1:3000). Its 700,000+ registered traders are concentrated in emerging markets the firm actively courts through Gold Sponsorships at regional trading fairs in Lagos, Manila, Mexico City, Johannesburg, and Dubai. The 2026 'Your Edge, Optimized' strategic pivot repositions the firm toward algorithmic, scalper, and high-frequency segments, supported by a 50% active-trader growth and $10.5 trillion annual trading volume milestone in 2025.

Revenue model

1. Spread-Based Pricing (Standard & Pro Accounts): Revenue generated through embedded spreads on Standard and Pro accounts, where broker operational fees are incorporated into the wider variable spread markup. No separate commission is charged per trade on these account types. Spreads start from 0.2 pips on Standard and 0.1 pips on Pro accounts.
2. Commission-Based Pricing (Raw Account): Revenue generated through a fixed, transparent commission per lot traded on the Raw (ECN-style) account. Raw spreads may start from 0.0 pips under certain market conditions, with a commission of $7 per lot. This model separates the raw market spread from broker fees, providing greater cost transparency for active traders.
3. Swap/Overnight Financing: Revenue from overnight financing charges applied to positions held beyond the trading day. Swap rates are automatically applied to all registered accounts. IUX also offers swap-free account options for traders who wish to avoid overnight interest charges, including accounts convertible to Islamic (Sharia-compliant) swap-free status.
4. Leverage and Margin Management: Revenue generated through the use of leverage, where margin requirements and associated margin call/stop-out mechanics allow the broker to deploy client capital efficiently across its liquidity and execution infrastructure. Maximum leverage offered is up to 1:3000.
