FX Global Management

What FX Global Management does

FX Global Management LLC is a New York State-registered Limited Liability Company operating since 2005 as an Investment Club and, since 2025, additionally as a Trading Company (Commercial Agent). The entity was founded by José Luis Lecona Roldán and serves Mexican PYMES (Pequeñas y Medianas Empresas) and independent professionals engaged in international trade as importers and exporters. Its core offering is collective currency hedging strategies that follow the US Dollar Index ($DXY), implemented through long positions in the Invesco DB US Dollar Index Bullish Fund (NYSE: UUP) complemented by put options on the same ETF to mitigate downside risk from dollar depreciation.

The company operates three interrelated product lines: an Investment Club structured around associated-investor capital contributions following NAIC standards and currently regulated under NFA Pool/Exemption Management ID P138148; a Trading Company function added in 2025 providing commercial agency services such as market studies, financial statement analysis, and linkage with international investors, clients, and suppliers; and an Empresa Integradora (Integrating Enterprise) model that aggregates SMEs for joint purchasing, sales, financing management, and risk administration. Supporting services include paid advisory and consulting, training and professional competency certification delivered through an alliance with IAP Career College, and a free weekly Market Summary blog (Resumen Semanal de Mercados) covering economic, trade, and financial topics.

FX Global Management generates revenue from three streams: capital contributions from associated investors in the Investment Club, paid advisory and consulting for PYMES, and professional services revenue from training and certification delivered through strategic alliances. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Distribution occurs primarily through direct engagement with the Founding & Managing Partner via virtual courtesy sessions, supplemented by institutional channels including ConnectAmericas (Inter-American Development Bank), ComerciaMX (Mexico's Ministry of Economy), and IAP Career College. The company maintains banking and brokerage relationships with FDIC/FINRA/SIPC-member US financial institutions and leverages the Staten Island Free Trade Zone as a gateway for international trade between Mexico and the US East Coast.

Broad incumbents

• FXCM: FXCM is a long-standing global FX and CFD broker with retail and SMB offerings and educational resources. It competes with FX Global Management in FX risk management for smaller clients but operates a regulated brokerage model rather than a pooled investment club.
• OANDA: OANDA is a globally regulated retail and SMB-focused FX and CFD broker offering currency trading, FX hedging tools, and educational content. It competes with FX Global Management for SME and independent-trader FX hedging demand but at much larger scale and with self-directed execution rather than pooled investment-club structure.
• IG Group: IG Group is a large, regulated multi-asset broker offering FX, CFDs, and options globally with extensive Spanish-language support. It overlaps with FX Global Management's audience of importers/exporters seeking FX exposure and risk management, but operates as a full brokerage rather than a pooled investment club.
• Charles Schwab: Charles Schwab is a large US retail brokerage (now owner of TD Ameritrade and formerly of FXCM) offering international trading, FX, and dollar-index ETF access to self-directed investors. It is a broad incumbent comparable to FX Global Management for US-domiciled investors seeking pooled-style FX exposure via regulated ETF channels.
• Interactive Brokers: Interactive Brokers provides low-cost international brokerage and FX trading access used by many independent professionals and SMEs engaged in cross-border trade. It serves a comparable audience to FX Global Management's Mexican independent professionals but offers direct execution rather than pooled currency hedging.

Direct peers

• eToro: eToro is a social/community-led multi-asset trading platform targeting retail and SMB users with copy-trading, educational content, and low-minimum accounts. Its community-led GTM motion and content-driven engagement directly mirror FX Global Management's investment-club + Market Summary blog approach.
• tastytrade: tastytrade is a content-driven retail options and derivatives platform with a strong educational/funnel approach mirroring FX Global Management's Market Summary blog and options-centric hedging philosophy (Put Options on UUP). Both firms monetize education-led communities into trading-product adoption.
• Plus500: Plus500 is a regulated multi-assate CFD and FX platform targeting retail and SMB traders with simplified interfaces and educational content. It is comparable to FX Global Management's mission of making FX instruments accessible to non-institutional users, though delivered via direct execution rather than pooled membership.
