FP Markets Institutional (FP Markets Partners) — institutional liquidity provider
This record reflects potential gaps in transparency regarding firm details and founding information.
Licence, read literally
| Regulator | Licence number | Jurisdiction | Tier | Source |

Tier classification follows the same scale as the retail register: tier-2 means real supervision and client-money segregation, without an investor compensation scheme — never misread it as tier-1 protection.

The claims ledger
Claims specific enough to be falsified — and the ones that remain the venue's own measurement.
Testable claims
- The FP Markets white-label partnership gives access to FP Markets platforms, execution and back-office functionality with the ability to re-brand, and is designed for two business types: brokerages and start-ups (https://www.fpmarketspartners.com/white-label-partnership/)
- Group footer on fpmarketspartners.com lists the operating entities: First Prudential Markets Pty Ltd (ABN 16 112 600 281, AFS License No. 286354, ASIC-regulated), First Prudential Markets Limited (Seychelles, Licence SD130), FP Markets (Pty) Ltd (FSCA FSP 50926) and FP Markets Ltd (Mauritius FSC Investment Dealer)
- First Prudential Markets Limited is a company registered in Seychelles under registration number 8426368-1, authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority in Seychelles with License Number SD130 (https://www.fpmarkets.com/regulation/)
- First Prudential Markets Ltd (Cyprus, registration number HE 372179) is authorised and regulated by CySEC (Licence No. 371/18), and FP Markets (Pty) Ltd is authorised by the South African FSCA (FSP Number 50926) (https://www.fpmarkets.com/regulation/)
Claims we cannot verify from outside
- 'Deep liquidity and tight spreads from as little as 0.0 pips' on the white-label page is the firm's own marketing floor, not a typical spread
Perimeter and coverage
| Asset classes | Venues | Connectivity | Clients accepted | Explicitly refused |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FX, CFDs, Metals, Indices, Cryptocurrencies | Access to FP Markets platforms, execution and back-office functionality with re-branding (own partners page), MT4/MT5 platform offering (group platform stack) | Established brokerages with existing client base and CFD volume (own partners page), Start-ups launching a trading brand (own partners page) |
A firm that publishes its own negative space — who it refuses, where it is not licensed — is materially easier to diligence than one that doesn't. The refusal list is treated here as disclosure, not as a defect.
