The robust UK forex market is attributable to the increasingly fair trade practices between brokers and investors. These practices are largely due to the investor protection measures introduced by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). These include a compensation worth £85,000 from the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) should the broker become insolvent. The FCA further mandates the broker to maintain client records separately from their own, allowing increased transparency and investor trust. In no situation can the investors’ account balance become negative. At the same time, the brokers have been mandated to issue standardized risk warnings associated with forex trading to investors.
