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 foreign exchange dealer GCMAsia as planned. The survey address is Michelin House 81 Fulham Road London SW3 6RD UNITED KINGDOM.

The survey personnel came to the destination of the current survey based on the above address, which is not far from the V&A and is slightly different from the map. The house number is actually very large. There are many seats and umbrellas at the gate. A dozen waiters are inside. It’s an Islamic restaurant rather than an office. The survey personnel cannot find any information about the foreign exchange dealer GCMAsia near the destination.

Conclusion

The investigators went to London, UK to visit the foreign exchange dealer GCMAsia 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.
