Challenges

Lack of brand presence previous to opening local office

Language differences adds another layer of complexity when marketing locally

White Label Growth Potential

37

White Labels are one of the FX industry’s fastest growing opportunities.

Until a few years ago, retail FX was mostly offered by true FX firms. There

were a handful of WL’s in Europe and Asia, and a few in North America. But

most of the business was done via FX firms.

Within the past few years, more main-stream financial institutions such a

banks, equity firms and futures firms have added retail FX as an asset

offering.

Introduction or enhanced regulations along with profit potential have been the

main impetus for financial firms to enter FX.

The Case for White Labeling

38

Market Expertise

Technology

Customer Support

A financial firm will need to have intimate knowledge and expertise on marketing to FX traders and converting existing equities and futures client base.

A financial firm will need a robust back-office, middleware, risk management, and front-end trading capabilities.

A financial firm will need to train, possibly register, and dedicate staff on a 24/7 hour basis. This includes, client-facing sales and support, operations, compliance, etc.

Financial Requirements

A financial firm will need to maintain registration of its individuals, possibly have registered branch managers, and develop separate FX unique compliance procedures and protocols with dedicated staff.

A minimum of $20 million in the US. Most advanced countries require a sizable capital.

Compliance

Liquidity A financial firm will have to establish liquidity relationships, dedicate funds as collateral, and manage the risk with a dedicated dealing desk.

The Case for FXCM as a White Label Partner

39

Market Expertise

Technology

Customer Support

FXCM has over 10 years experience with White Labels including some of the most high profile cases such as MF Global, dbFX, E*Trade and Barclays Stockbroker.

We provide a complete back to front-end proven solution. We have the capability to offer customized solutions. API capability for reports and 3rd party partner back-office.

Appx. 800 salaried employees speaking over 16 languages. FXCM can easily dedicate both a wholesale team and even WL customer service for our partners.

Financial Strength

FXCM is regulated in over 5 jurisdictions with offices in over 10 countries. Our vast global expertise in compliance matters allows us to understand local regulatory need.

FXCM has over $1.2 billion in assets, $125 million in capital, and 2011 total revenue of $415 million. Our balance sheet can be used to cover collateral of a WL.

Compliance

Liquidity

FXCM can provide complete liquidity services and pricing either through its GUI or API without the partner firm incurring any trading costs or risks.

The Case for an Omnibus Partner

40

Some firms have the technical ability to add FX as an asset class such as

their own front-end or have licensed a third-party FX platform

Risk Management &

Technology

A financial firm that has its own trading front and back-end can use an API to our back-office for risk management such as margin watcher.

Liquidity Most omnibus clients have a stand alone platform and only need retail friendly liquidity.

The Case for FXCM as an Omnibus Partner

41

Risk Management &

Technology

Several financial firms use only our back-office software connected to their front-end.

Liquidity

FXCM can provide interbank quality spreads to omnibus clients with agency execution from liquidity providers that understand the retail market.

Case Studies of FXCM Partners

Abstract In order to offer their clients

true access to other asset

classes, ET chose FXCM to

assist in the creation and

management of its FX

product.

Kim Eng is one of Singapore’s

largest brokers and owned by

Maybank, one of S.E. Asia’s

largest financial

conglomerates.

The Business Issue As one of the largest and

most well known brands in

online trading, ET did not

have the experience or

technology to create an FX

offering by itself.

Kim Eng was looking to

replace its current FX

software with a new platform

and back-office that meet

local regulatory requirements.

Our Solution FXCM grey-labeled its

technology, customized the

logon and user experience to

mimic the look, feel and

navigation of a live ET user.

We set up a dedicated

overnight team to handle their

customer service.

We customized our software

to meet their MAS

requirements including

enhanced login credentials,

pop-up disclaimers and layout

changes.

The Results FX is now a seamless part of

their offering. An ET client

can trade FX without leaving

ET’s website.

KES’s new platform will be

stable, regulatory friendly and

offer KES the ability to expand

beyond its natural client base.

Future of Institutional FX

77

Post Dodd-Frank

FX is purposely not covered under Dodd-Frank

FX is vital to capital flows of import/export businesses

Governments need FX for international borrowing/lending

Post Volcker Rule

Basel III reduces ability to carry risk and places profits under pressure

People intensive operations with fixed costs experience dramatic compression of

net profits

Post 2008, traditional dealing rooms replaced performance linked compensation

with higher fixed salary on a material scale

Lows cost trading business building is very different from rows of people in

traditional dealing room

Taking clients to events is no longer a high impact sales strategy to capture order

flow from algorithmic client execution engines and “smart” routing computers

During the recent 3-5 months the FX market volumes have shrunk

dramatically (beyond usual seasonal adjustments)

Unique Market Opportunities for Client Matching

88

In addition to operating a market place, the new technology permits us to:

Banks will look for ECN’s (brokers) to deliver them new client business:

Banks have high operating costs

Credit risk tolerance is declining due to high cost of capital

Banks have difficulty reaching clients in regions where they have no sales distribution

Trading houses and HFT’s have no distribution network

Clients with similar market interest can be placed in rooms to conduct business

with each other:

Segmentation of clients by trading speed

Separation of clients with similar trading size

Custom tailor pools of liquidity for clients to transact business in:

By time zone or region

By currency types such a Nordic, Asia or Latin America currencies

Future of Institutional FX

89

Last 20 years people went from spot to structured products & derivatives

Structured products & derivatives provided an opportunity to make a larger return

on your investment, but I also came with a far greater risk.

Due to the recent fall out of major banks, people have lost faith and have started

to move back to FX.

This movement will have a large impact on banks:

Banks have high operational costs: sales, ops, etc.

Not built for vanilla instruments/low-cost products

More conservative balance sheet, less risk on the books

Drew Niv

Chief Executive Officer, FXCM

Mr. Niv has been instrumental in the success of two online foreign exchange firms. Prior to co-founding FXCM, Mr. Niv served as Director of

Marketing for MG Financial Group. His efforts were pivotal in transforming an unknown company with less than 250 clients into one of the early

Sales Department, creating the most popular website for currency trading news, and establishing a network of introducing brokers for the firm.

platforms offered by FXCM in over 180 different countries. In December of 2010 FXCM became a publicly traded company on the New York

Stock Exchange, another pivotal moment in the history of the company led by Mr. Niv.

Niv attributes FXCM’s success to an “iron focus” on customer service, and to the fact that it has been the driving force behind many

innovations in the retail industry, including the introduction of mini accounts and delivery of live streaming market analysis to clients. FXCM is

proud to have spearheaded bringing No Dealing Desk execution to the forex market in 2007. Other brokers and platforms are now following

suit.
