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

In this period, the survey team went to London, England to visit the foreign exchange dealer CF GROUP as planned. The survey address was 11 BlackheaTh VillaGe London SE3 9LA UNITED KINGDOM.

The survey personnel came to the destination of the survey according to the above address, which was in a town below the Royal Greenwich Observatory. It took about fifteen minutes to walk from the church to the south. The house number was small and seemed to be temporarily glued and was therefore difficult to notice. There were barbershops, small restaurants, coffee shops and libraries in the building, and the display of things inside was messy. The word ‘cafe’ could be seen on the facade, which was not like a foreign exchange dealer’s office. The survey personnel did not find any information about the foreign exchange dealer CF GROUP near the destination.

Conclusion

The investigators went to London, UK to visit the foreign exchange dealer CF GROUP as planned. They did not find the dealer’s office on the publicly displayed address, and the dealer simply registered the company at that address without real business premises. Investors are requested to choose the dealer carefully.
