Reason for this visit

According to the Reuters, the United Kingdom has expanded its leading position in the field of global FX trading in the years since it voted to leave the European Union. In addition, the British retail foreign exchange market has one of the world's three most stringent regulatory bodies, that is the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). Many FX dealers take obtaining FCA regulation for pride, and also hope to enter the country to develop market business. To help investors or practitioners have a more comprehensive understanding of the dealers in that country, the survey team is going to UK for site visits.

On-site visit

This time the survey team went to London, England to visit the foreign exchange dealer MIZUHO as planned. The survey address is Mizuho InTernaTional plc Mizuho House 30 Old Bailey London EC4M 7AU UNITED KINGDOM.

The survey personnel came to the destination of the survey based on the above address. As one of the three major banks in Japan, MIZUHO owns an entire building here. It is located in the center of the city with tight security and a huge area. The investigators found the water card of the trader MIZUHO in the lobby on the ground floor. However, due to safety regulations, the investigators were unable to enter the company for internal visits.

Conclusion

The investigators went to visit the dealer MIZUHO in London, UK as planned. The dealer’s logo can be found on the publicly displayed address, indicating that the dealer has a real business place. Unfortunately, the investigators failed to enter the company for further visit, so the specific scale of the business remains unknown. Investors are asked to make a sensible choice after careful consideration.
