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 visited the dealer City Index in London, UK, with the specific address at Devon House 58 St. Katharines Way London E1W 1JP UNITED KINGDOM.

According to the above address, the survey team came to the destination of this survey. The building was near the wharf, not far from Tower Bridge. The exterior was relatively old, but the inside space was large with a reception desk and access control. However, the surveyors were failed to find the logo or other information of the dealer City Index. It was learned that the address had two exchanges registered under the name City Index, which was suspicious of clones.

Conclusion

The survey team went to London, UK, to visit the the dealer City Index and found no office at its business address. It was supposed that the dealer might just use that address to register its company, or there was no offline exhibition place. Please be prudent when trading with this broker.
