XGLOBAL Markets
1 legal entity is on file for this firm, across 1 jurisdiction. The strongest supervision on file is Tier 2.
Caution means: The group holds a licence we could verify, but the record shows a caveat you have to read: an offshore entity in the same structure, a registration that is not a financial licence, or leverage well above tier-1 retail caps.
