What FT GLOBAL LTD does

FXTM (FT GLOBAL LTD) is a privately held online retail broker operating under the legal entity Exinity Limited, providing leveraged forex and CFD trading across more than 1,000 instruments including currencies, indices, commodities, metals, stocks, ETFs, futures, crosses, and cryptocurrencies. The platform is delivered through industry-standard MetaTrader 4 (MT4) and MetaTrader 5 (MT5) terminals licensed from MetaQuotes Software Corp., supplemented by a proprietary FXTM Trader mobile application available on iOS and Android. Distinctive product features include the Gold Index — a proprietary gold-tracking instrument with no expiry date and fixed spread/swap costs — and the FXTM Rewards loyalty programme spanning tier levels from Entry through VIP Master.

The business model is transaction-fee based: revenue is primarily generated from spreads (from 0.0 pips on Advantage Accounts), per-trade commissions on specific instruments (e.g., 0.03% on crypto, $0.01 per side on ETF CFDs, 0.30% on UAE Stock CFDs, $35 per million notional on Crosses), overnight swap charges, and promotional mechanics such as the matched welcome bonus up to $500. Multiple account types — Micro, Advantage, Advantage Plus, Advantage Stocks, and Practice — target traders across the experience spectrum from first-time beginners (with $200 minimums and demo accounts) to experienced professionals (with leverage up to 1:2000 on majors and 1:3000 on the Gold Index).

FXTM is regulated by the Financial Services Commission (FSC) of Mauritius (Investment Dealer License C113012295) and the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) of South Africa (FSP No. 50320) as an Over-the-Counter Derivative Provider. The group operates through four corporate entities in Mauritius (headquarters), Cyprus, the United Kingdom, and Kenya. Distribution combines self-serve digital channels — web platform (trade.fxtm.com), mobile apps, and App Store/Google Play presence — with an Introducing Broker (IB) affiliate programme that drives partner-referred client acquisition and earns commissions based on trading activity. The company has been operating since 2011 with no external funding rounds disclosed.

Revenue model

1. Spreads: FXTM generates revenue primarily through spreads - the difference between bid and ask prices. Advantage Accounts offer spreads from 0.0 pips on major forex pairs. The spread is the primary cost of trading for customers.
2. Trading Commissions: Commission-based revenue on specific instruments: crypto trading at 0.03% of notional value, ETF CFDs at $0.01 per side/lot traded, UAE Stock CFDs at 0.30% commission, and Crosses CFDs at $35 per million USD notional traded.
3. Overnight Swap Charges: Interest adjustments (swaps) applied when holding positions overnight. Traders either pay or receive swaps depending on the instrument and position direction. Triple swaps apply on specific days to account for weekend settlement gaps.
4. Welcome Bonus Programme: New clients can receive matched deposits up to $500 in Reward Points. The Welcome Bonus promotion matches first deposits and rewards trading activity with redeemable points.

Broad incumbents

• eToro: eToro is a larger, publicly visible multi-asset platform with a social trading layer spanning stocks, ETFs, forex, commodities, and crypto. While it overlaps FXTM on FX/CFDs, eToro's broader asset coverage and social copy-trading positioning make it a broader incumbent rather than a head-to-head FX competitor.
• Plus500: Plus500 is a publicly listed (LSE) CFD broker with a proprietary platform offering forex, indices, commodities, shares, ETFs, and crypto. It competes with FXTM on the retail CFD value proposition but operates at materially larger scale under top-tier regulations (FCA, ASIC, CySEC).

Like FXTM, XM operates under multiple regional licenses (CySEC, ASIC, IFSC) and targets the same retail audience with similar bonus and IB programmes.
• Axi (AxiTrader): Axi is a globally regulated (FCA, ASIC, DFSA, FMA) retail and institutional FX/CFD broker with MT4, MT5, and Axi Copy Trading. It overlaps FXTM directly on the retail forex core and is increasingly competing for the same cross-asset CFD wallet.
• RoboForex: RoboForex is a multi-asset online broker operating under IFSC Belize with MT4/MT5/cTrader/RoboTrader platforms. It targets a similar retail customer base with comparable bonus and partner programmes, making it a close direct competitor.
• IC Markets: IC Markets is a leading ECN-style retail FX/CFD broker offering spreads from 0.0 pips on MT4, MT5, and cTrader. It is a direct competitor on pricing, platform choice, and asset coverage, serving the same retail and semi-professional trader segment.
• Pepperstone: Pepperstone is a top-tier multi-regulated (FCA, ASIC, DFSA, CySEC) FX/CFD broker offering Razor accounts with 0.0 pip spreads across MT4, MT5, cTrader, and TradingView. It competes head-to-head with FXTM on pricing and platform breadth.
