FXCM Holdings, LLC consists of FXCM Australia LTD., Forex Trading, LLC, Forex Capital Markets, LLC, Forex Capital Markets LTD., FXCM Asia LTD., FXCM DMCC, and FXCM Canada LTD.

Please Note: In April, there was a significant drop in the firm's net capital. This decrease is related to FXCM fulfilling its obligations for 2008 taxes. Last year was a terrific year for FXCM with the firm hitting all-time volume highs, and as a result, the ownership of FXCM made payments of nearly $50 Million towards fulfilling year-end taxes due. However, even after such payments, FXCM Holdings, LLC has over $100 million in firm capital, of which $60,472,142 is held by the firm's US registered entity, Forex Capital Markets LLC.* The remaining capital is held by FXCM’s other entities, including regulated entities in Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, the United Kingdom and currently Dubai
