Why the FSA does not issue licenses to brokers

The main reason why the FSA does not issue licenses to the brokers is the inability to control these areas. An official license guarantees users that the broker is not a fraud, while the FSA cannot be sure of that, no matter how the company proves its reliability.

Not only that, but the FSA officially warns users to beware of fraud. Investors should be wary of situations where an organization offers a high return with low risk from contracts in foreign currency. Such transactions may turn out to be fraudulent, even though they often look like interesting investment opportunities.
FSA warns that if a user uses the services of a broker who is not licensed, he or she does so at their own risk:

• unregulated entities are not subject to rules that prohibit the dissemination of false information;
• their owners, directors, managers have not undergone the qualification and compliance checks that apply to licensed entities.
