FXCM Holdings LLC has released its latest balance sheet. The numbers reflect FXCM’s financial strength and status as of February 28, 2010.
Highlights include:
- $137,870,045 Million in Capital (Assets Minus Liabilities) - an increase of over $20 million since the last update four months ago.
- $152,167,482 In Operating Cash (Excludes Client Funds) - an increase of about $25 million since the last update.
- $365,319,721 In Customer Deposits - an increase of almost $45 million (!) since the last update.
FXCM's figures have managed to surprise me as I figured that the increased competition in the market will take its toll on all brokers, especially the US ones, however it doesn't seem to be the case with FXCM. It would be interesting to understand whether all US brokers managed to achieve a similar impressive growth.
FXCM believes that financial transparency in the retail forex industry is more important than ever and will continue to publicly post its balance sheet on its Web site quarterly here: https://www.fxcm.co.uk/fxcm-balance-sheet.jsp.
