Australian-founded broker FP Markets further cemented its position as a market leader, winning ‘Most Trusted Broker – Global’, ‘Broker of the Year – Asia’, and ‘Fastest Growing Broker – LATAM’ at the inaugural Finance Magnates Annual Award (FMAA) Gala. The event was held on Wednesday, 23 October, at the Lemon Park Venue in Nicosia, Cyprus.

Powered by Amazon Web Services (AWS), the FMAAs ‘celebrate the highest levels of innovation and excellence across fintech, Forex, payments, and trading platforms’. The winners were determined through a dual process: online voting accessible to industry professionals and the global trading community, and a distinguished panel of judges. Notably, global multi-asset Forex and CFD broker FP Markets was the only company to take home three FMAAs on the night.

FP Markets’ Global Head of Marketing, Andria Phiniefs, commented: ‘Being nominated along with some of the industry’s biggest names is a tremendous honour in itself. Winning three awards through votes from the global trading community and industry stakeholders marks a significant accomplishment for our team. This recognition inspires us to continue to pursue our mission, which we embarked on nearly twenty years ago: to be the preferred and most trusted broker for traders worldwide’.

FP Markets continues to leverage opportunities beyond existing markets, while maintaining a consistent standard of product and service quality for its clients globally. As part of the broker’s twentieth anniversary next year, the investing community can also expect further trading technology advancements and updates.

FP Markets Wins Treble at The Global Forex Awards

Following recent success at the Finance Magnates Pacific Summit in Australia earlier this month, multi-asset Forex and CFD broker, FP Markets, was presented with three coveted Global Forex Awards at a ceremony held at the La Caleta in Limassol on Thursday 12 September. FP Markets was voted ‘Best Value Broker – Global’ for the sixth time in a row, ‘Best Broker – Europe’ for the third time running, and ‘Best Partners Programme – Asia’.

According to London-based organisers Holiston Media, the Global Forex Awards ‘celebrate the brokers at the forefront of cutting-edge technology, low-cost trading, comprehensive market research tools, advanced educational programmes and world-class customer service’. The winners of the ‘world’s biggest Forex Retail Awards’ were determined through a public voting process, making the trophies all the more so important for retail Forex brands looking to cement their market position and reputation.

When asked about the company’s latest achievement, FP Markets CEO Craig Allison expressed his gratitude and commented: ‘Winning three Global Forex Awards is another huge achievement for the FP Markets team and one that sets us apart from our competition. Being recognised as a broker which offers innovative and cost-effective trading solutions to traders and partners alike, while maintaining the highest regulatory standards, is testament to our hard work and ethos as a company. Such awards exemplify our credibility when it comes to potential new clients and also demonstrate why our existing traders and partners choose to invest with us’.

FP Markets Wins Double at FMPS 2024

Multi-asset Forex and CFD broker, FP Markets, further cemented its position as one of the industry’s global leaders, claiming two prestigious awards at the Finance Magnates Pacific Summit (fmps:24). The company won ‘Best Forex Spreads APAC’ and ‘Best Trading Experience APAC’ at the closing event of the two-day summit which was held on Thursday 29 August, in Sydney, Australia. Although FP Markets has been credited with several global and regional Finance Magnates awards and mentions in the past, these are the first to be claimed regarding its service offering in the Asia Pacific region.

The fmps:24 awards have become some of the most sought after accolades given their reputation and role in shaping the future of the fintech industry. As the financial services sector continues to evolve in the Asia Pacific region, many new clients view such awards as a seal of approval when it comes to choosing a broker to partner with.

FP Markets has been providing exceptional trading experiences for nearly two decades, with the company constantly innovating to improve its asset offering and provide cost-effective trading solutions for retail investors. The company’s competitive spreads and minimal costs make it especially popular with short-term scalpers and day traders, and is also reflected in the numerous past awards it has received for its superior trading conditions.

Thomas Roberts, General Manager of APAC, FP Markets, expressed his gratitude and commented: ‘These two awards are a major milestone in our company’s global journey, especially as we approach our 20th anniversary next year. To win, and to do it on our home ground, the place where it all started, shows how far we’ve come these past two decades. Also, to be recognised for delivering what our mission as a company encapsulates – giving traders the best possible trading experience and superior trading conditions – demonstrates our unwavering commitment to our clients, existing and new, wherever they are located in the world’.

FP Markets Adds Two More Industry Benchmark Awards to Its Collection

Extending its winning streak, global multi-asset Forex and CFD broker, FP Markets, was crowned ‘Most Transparent Broker’ and also took home ‘Best Trading Conditions’ for the second year in a row at the highly anticipated Global Ultimate Fintech (UF) Awards 2024. Following last year’s ‘Most Trusted Broker’ acknowledgement and the ‘Best Trade Execution’ award received in 2022, the FP Markets trophy cabinet now includes five esteemed Global UF Awards. 

Established to honour the most outstanding B2C and B2B brands in the online trading and fintech domain and provide traders and businesses with an industry benchmark, the UF Awards are widely considered as one of the sector’s most sought-after prizes. Claiming two accolades this year marks another significant milestone in FP Markets’ 19-year history, especially since the UF Awards are directly determined by the votes of industry professionals, fintech enthusiasts, and online traders.

Invited on stage to receive the award, FP Markets CEO Craig Allison expressed his gratitude and commented: ‘The two UF Awards we’ve won tonight are the embodiment of what we strive to achieve as a company on a daily basis: deliver a superior trading destination for traders while at the same time uphold our core values of integrity, transparency and innovation and we continue to find ways to provide the best possible trading conditions’.

The awards ceremony took place at the exclusive Columbia Beach venue in Limassol, Cyprus, as part of the closing party of the 13th iFX EXPO International. With a record-breaking attendance of over 4,000 visitors from 120 countries and 1,400 companies, the iFX EXPO International – one of the flagship gatherings for the trading industry – brought together executives from the world’s top financial brands, fintech innovators and other stakeholders.  Earlier in the week,  FP Markets Global Head of Marketing, Andria Phiniefs was a guest on the panel at the iFX Expo’s Idea’s Hub ‘Marketing Beyond the Transaction: Building a Trusted Trading Brand’ speaking about the significance of ‘brand trust and reputation’ as the most important drivers behind the broker’s growth strategy.

FP Markets Reduces Spreads Across Key Asset Classes

In response to increasing investor demand for more cost-effective trading solutions, FP Markets, a global multi-asset Forex and CFD broker, has further reduced its spreads across various trading instruments.

Christodoulos Psomas, Head of Risk at FP Markets, expressed his enthusiasm for the move and commented: ‘Through the continuous optimisation of our trading infrastructure, we have successfully lowered spreads on several key instruments. Implementing this change across our platforms has resulted in a more cost-efficient trading environment for all our clients. We remain committed to maintaining and further enhancing these conditions as our goal will always be the delivery of a superior trading experience’.

As part of the broker’s efforts to minimise trading costs for its growing client base, the reduction in spreads applies to a selection of widely traded CFD products, including Spot Gold (XAU/USD), a range of Major and Minor Currency Pairs, as well as major Equity Indices, such as the Dow Jones Industrial Average (US30), the S&P 500 (US500), and the Nasdaq 100 (US100).

The FP Markets website provides a breakdown of the revised spreads and the affected asset classes.

With a selection of over 10,000 CFDs to choose from, combined with low spreads, fast execution, a wide range of world-class Trading Platforms, such as MetaTrader, cTrader and TradingView, as well as a multi-regulated trading environment, FP Markets continues to distinguish itself as the broker of choice for investors across the globe.
