Capital.com acquires FxPro's Cyprus entity for EU clients
· By Christian Görgen
Capital.com has acquired FxPro Financial Services Ltd, the Cyprus-regulated entity serving FxPro's European clients, as part of a restructuring of FxPro's operations in the European Union, according to TradeInformer. The acquisition has received approval from the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC), allowing affected clients to transfer their accounts to Capital.com Group Ltd, a Cyprus Investment Firm regulated by CySEC under license number 463/25.
FxPro stated that this restructuring reflects a strategic shift, with the majority of its growth now occurring outside the EU. The brokerage emphasized that the transfer aims to maintain continuity for existing European clients rather than terminate their accounts. This move marks a significant change in FxPro's European operations, as it redirects its growth strategy towards markets beyond the bloc.
Capital.com's growth strategy aligns with the acquisition
As Capital.com integrates FxPro's Cyprus entity, it positions itself to enhance its client base in the EU. This acquisition is part of a broader trend where firms are reassessing their European operations to focus on markets with greater growth potential. The transfer of client accounts is designed to ensure a seamless transition, reflecting Capital.com's commitment to client service.
