Global Regulations
Comprehensive analysis of top-tier financial regulators worldwide. Know your rights and protections.
FCA
The UK's FCA is widely considered one of the strictest and most respected regulatory bodies in the world, offering high protection (FSCS) to traders. Note: Many brokers hold multiple licenses; ensure you are onboarded under the UK entity to benefit from these protections.
ASIC
ASIC is Australia's integrated corporate, markets, financial services and consumer credit regulator. Warning: Ensure you are contracting with the Australian entity (AFSL holder); offshore branches do not offer ASIC protections.
NFA
The NFA is the industry-wide, self-regulatory organization for the U.S. derivatives industry. It enforces unique, strict rules (FIFO, No Hedging) that differ significantly from European/Australian standards.
CySEC
CySEC regulates the financial markets in Cyprus. As an EU member state, it complies with MiFID II, granting 'Passporting Rights' to operate across the entire EU.
DFSA
The DFSA regulates the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), a financial free zone with independent English Common Law courts. Note: DFSA is distinct from the UAE's mainland regulator (SCA).
FSC
Mauritius FSC is a popular offshore regulator. While it requires physical presence and local staff, it does not offer the same level of protection (like compensation funds) as Tier 1 jurisdictions.
VFSC
The VFSC has tightened rules significantly since 2021 (higher bond, physical presence), but remains an offshore jurisdiction with high leverage and no compensation fund.
