FXCM Fined by NFA: Bad Practices. Securities Arbitration Founder Announces New “FXCM Initiative” - Recovery Program for Burned Investors.
Securities Arbitration Hotline founder Paul Young today announced the “FXCM Initiative” which is a new special, dedicated program to take on FXCM case by case for burned Main Streeters nationwide.
Los Angeles, CA, August 27, 2011 --(PR.com)-- In announcing the new FXCM Initiative, 23 year Securities Arbitration Hotline seeks to work for Main Streeters abused by FXCM to put them back on their financial feet. The goal is to recover funds lost due to the misconduct and misdeeds of the company as recently determined by the National Futures Association. The securities arbitration pioneer formed the FXCM Initiative after FXCM agreed to the largest single fine ever leveled against U.S. currency brokerage.
FXCM, Inc. was fined $2 million and also agreed to set aside $8 million more in settlement after a year-long NFA investigation and complaint “revealed a number of deficiencies” involving unfair and unequal customer practices. The CFTC is also reportedly separately investigating FXCM for similar misconduct.
“We applaud the NFA and believe it is long since time that the principles of fairness, of always putting the client first, of ensuring that investors are suitable for and able to sustain high risk trading are the standard benchmarks for all investment products in America,” says Securities Arbitration’s founder Paul Young commenting on the NFA’s investigative work in announcing the new program under the umbrella of Securities Arbitration’s 23 years of service to burned investors in America.
“Particularly in these unstable economic times it is vital for Main Street investors to fully understand the nature and risks of investments versus the possible or potential rewards. And it is also true that investment companies must provide a level playing field and fully explain to suitable investors all risk factors. And to reject client accounts of non-suitable investors, no matter how contrary to standard thought and instinct that doing so may be,” says Young, who has heads Securities Arbitration’s efforts. “When financial firms fail to do the right thing, investors have true recourse via arbitration.”
The FXCM Initiative has already signed up a number of burned investors who have decided to fight back. “We believe that potentially many thousands more have been through the ringer with FXCM and the FXCM Initiative awaits them.
“Burned investors are usually embarrassed. We encourage them to overcome the feelings of victimization and fight back,” concludes Young.
