About Us
FP Markets (FPM) is an award-winning company that has earned a stellar reputation for providing Contracts for Difference (CFDs), one of the most popular financial trading instruments in Australia, through Direct Market Access.
An Australian-owned company, FPM was created by seasoned industry professionals with extensive experience in the field and who share a commitment to servicing a broad range of clients, from part-time traders to professionals and institutions.
As a global leader for DMA CFDs, we use our combined depth of experience to understand the needs of our clients and provide exceptional service matched with the best products available.
Since commencing trading in 2005, we have become a major player in the CFD market through our Direct Markets Access (DMA) pricing model, great commission rates, exceptional trading platform and outstanding client service. We were responsible for making Direct Market Access CFDs easily available to retail and professional clients at competitive commission rates in Australia.
FP Markets has thousands of clients around the world and turns over approximately $1 billion per month in equity CFDs. In 2010, we executed more than 1.2 million trades for our clients.
In Australia, FPM is one of the most awarded companies in the industry, winning awards from Smart Investor, Investment Trends, Money Magazine, and The Bull and a 5 star rating from CANSTAR CANNEX.
Independent research has shown that we are the most-recommended CFD provider in the industry with the highest rates of client satisfaction.
Our Direct Market Access model, with its guarantee of fair and transparent prices, means that your success is our success. We don’t profit from client losses like other CFD providers. It’s in our best interest for you to be as profitable as possible, so we offer extensive education ranging from eBooks, webinars, seminars and in-depth client support. And that support is offered 24 hours: FPM offers access to global markets, indices and foreign exchange and the markets we trade in do not stop.
We are continuing to grow quickly with a large offering of equity, forex, indices, commodities and CFDs from international trading exchanges.
As part of the First Prudential Investment Group – which also owns FPM United Kingdom – FPM has offices in both Australia and the United Kingdom and is regulated by the Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC) in Australia and the Financial Services Authority (FSA) in the United Kingdom. We are also a member of the Sydney Futures Exchange (SFE).
