Media Contact, Jaclyn Sales: [email protected]
October 28, 2008 ― FXCM Holdings, LLC (http://www.fxcm.com) has released its most recent balance sheet, reporting record levels of operating cash and firm capital. The numbers reflect the group’s financial strength and status as of September 30, 2008. Highlights of the (unaudited) balance sheet include:
• Over $172 Million In Operating Cash (excludes client funds)
• Over $138 Million In Capital (assets minus liabilities)
FXCM comfortably exceeds all regulatory financial requirements and is one of the most well-capitalized Forex Dealer Members. While many financial services firms have suffered in the last few months, FXCM has not been negatively affected; in fact, the firm has strengthened its financial position over the last quarter.
FXCM’s core business of serving self-trading clients performed strongly throughout 2008. FXCM’s primary business model―No Dealing Desk execution―enables the company to generate strong earnings in both high and low volatility periods. FXCM is able to achieve these results without having to take on proprietary trading risk.
FXCM believes clients should have the necessary information to make intelligent choices about their brokerage firms. By releasing this information, FXCM continues to set a standard for the entire forex industry.

Leveraged foreign exchange trading carries a high level of risk, and may not be suitable for all investors. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose.
