CFDs and leveraged forex are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. Most retail accounts lose money when trading CFDs. Consider whether you understand how these products work and whether you can afford the high risk of losing your money.

Open the official register

The Financial Services Regulatory Authority regulates firms in Abu Dhabi Global Market, a financial free zone in the UAE with its own legal framework.

What it means for a retail trader

The FSRA keeps a public register of authorised firms. As with the DIFC, a licence here is distinct from one issued by the UAE’s federal securities regulator.

How to check a firm

Search the firm’s legal name or licence number on the official register linked above. Confirm that the name, the number and the website on the register match the firm you are dealing with, and that its permissions cover the product you want to trade. Clone firms often borrow a real firm’s name and number but use a different web address.
