Jurisdiction gap — read this before you deposit

Holds a tier-1 ASIC (company register — deregistered; ABN cancelled 25 Jun 2025) licence, but also operates 1 offshore entity. Which one your account sits under determines the protection you get.

A group can hold a tier-1 licence and still onboard you through an offshore entity in the same structure. The licence protects clients of the entity that holds it — not every client of the brand. Check which company name appears on your own client agreement, then look that company up in the table below.

Scroll the register sideways — the entity column stays pinned.

1 row is a company registration, not financial supervision

A registration number issued by a company registry — St Vincent and the Grenadines, Saint Lucia, the Marshall Islands, a BVI or Comoros IBC — records only that a company exists. It carries no conduct supervision, no client-money segregation requirement and no compensation scheme. Rows marked company registration above are printed because the firm cites them, not because they protect you.

  3. F03Trade press reported in 2025 that Sway Markets suspended its brokerage operations while its prop-trading arm Sway Funded continued.
  4. F04Saint Vincent and the Grenadines FSA does not regulate forex or CFD trading, so an SVG registration is not a trading licence.
  5. F05Sway Markets' own legal pages state the operating company is 'Sway Markets Pty Ltd LLC', registered in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines under company number 1647 LLC 2021, and that the Australian entity Sway Markets Pty Ltd (ABN 16 663 928 158) operated only as a Corporate Authorised Representative (CAR 001300469) of MGF Capital Pty Ltd (AFSL 421246), authorised for wholesale clients only and not as a product issuer of OTC derivatives (https://web.archive.org/web/20230207123501/https://swaymarkets.com/about-us/).

  7. F07The broker's own trading rules stated a $10 minimum deposit, and its terms authorised the firm to sell, pledge, rehypothecate, assign, invest, commingle or otherwise use client collateral (https://web.archive.org/web/20230207110450/https://swaymarkets.com/cookies-and-privacy/).
  8. F08The US CFTC placed Sway Markets on its RED List on 29 May 2025, stating the entity solicits and/or accepts funds from US customers, appears to require CFTC registration but is not registered, and noting the listing is not a finding of a violation (https://www.cftc.gov/REDlist/node/255436).
