CySEC Withdrew Licenses of Dormant ED&F MAN Capital Markets Subsidiary, RMG Holding

The Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) announced on Monday the withdrawal of licenses of two companies: one is ED&F MAN Capital Markets CEEMA Ltd and another is RMG Holding Ltd.

The decision came as both the companies decided to renounce their Cyprus Investment Firm (CIF) license.

ED&F Man Capital Markets CEEMA Ltd is one of the subsidiaries of the similarly named global institutional brokerage brand. The entity was created to target the European, Middle East and African markets, and it received the Cypriot license in July 2019. But it was a dormant unit.

ED&F Man is now operating from its registered offices and licenses in London, Hong Kong, Dubai and the United States.
