About the company:

Founded back in 2004, Tradeview Markets (formerly Tradeview Forex) is a brokerage offering more than 40 financial instruments for three trading platforms. The brand is owned by Tradeview Ltd., which is headquartered in the Cayman Islands and licensed by the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (CIMA).

About company. Funds security

Offshore locations are known for their light-touch regulation. They are attractive to start-ups as it is relatively easy and cost-effective to launch a brokerage business there.

Exemption from all local taxes and stamp duties, non-disclosure and minimum capital requirements are among the advantages of forex companies in the Cayman Islands.

Regulation of the CIMA cannot be compared to the supervision by US or UK financial regulators. Still, forex brokers licensed in the Cayman Islands are required to hold at least $100,000 worth of net tangible assets as well as to adhere to a certain reporting schedule and regularly submit financial statements by an independent auditor.

If you want to invest a large amount of money, we recommend that you choose a broker belonging to another jurisdiction. Check out other forex brokers in our ranking.
