Better Health for All

FXCM's core business, particularly CFD trading, results in a significant portion of retail investor accounts losing money, which can have negative mental health impacts.

This constitutes a negative health impact from its principal services. To mitigate these significant mental health externalities and support mental wellness, FXCM offers clients options for temporary or permanent self-exclusion from trading activities, promoting healthier financial habits. This represents moderate addiction controls and some practical mental health support. The company also demonstrates excellent risk transparency by providing clear risk disclosures in advertising and marketing materials, as mandated by regulations, and offers essential tools like stop-loss orders and negative balance protection to help clients manage exposure and prevent potential losses.
