美国商品期货协会(NFA)及商品期货交易委员会(CFTC)正在检阅有关提议
2007年3月26日
●CFG Trader，位于美国维吉尼亚州首府里奇蒙的一家外汇交易公司，由于未能达到NFA的资本要求，于2007年3月21日被NFA要求强制清算所有客户的持仓头寸；
●Forex Capital Markets LLC (FXCM) 同意接受CFG Trader的账户，大概涉及到3,800名个人投资者，现正等待监管机构的正式批准。在CFG Trader及FXCM的协议得以达成前，必须得到CFTC及NFA的批准；
●在得到CFTC及NFA的批准后，FXCM将拨动大约1百万美元以弥补CFG Trader资产值与CFG Trader客户资金之间因资本不足而欠下的差额。
●根据CFG Trader及FXCM拟定的协议，CFG客户将不会因CFG Trader的资金不足情况而蒙受金钱损失，如果NFA及CFTC不批准有关协议，CFG客户便不保证可以百分之一百取回投入的资金。
此消息的发布人为Drew Niv － 环球外汇交易商Forex Capital Markets行政总裁。
"当NFA决定暂停CFG Trader的运作后，我们多次收到保护CFG Trader客户不受损失的请求。"Drew Niv 说。
"为了让CFG的客户不致蒙受损失，FXCM已拨备了1百万美元，如果协议得以批准，所有客户的资金将会完整保存。" Drew Niv 说。
FXCM要求更高的标准
"我们稳健的资产负债表已大幅超过NFA的要求，使FXCM有能力出价以保护CFG Trader的3,800名客户不受损失。我们希望NFA和CFTC批准有关协议，让我们能够保障客户不致蒙受损失" Drew Niv 说。
"这次事件突显出事实上仍有些外汇公司未有足够的资本，因此我们认为让所有外汇交易客户得知外汇交易商的财政实力极为重要。"
"FXCM踏出了重要的一步，将我们的资产负债表向公众公开"Drew Niv 说。"我们邀请其他外汇公司效法这个做法"
FXCM最近发布的财政状况：FXCM集团直至2007年1月31日，持有超过$120,660,927美元的资本值(资产减去负债)及$98,657,018美元的营运现金(不包括客户资金)。要参考更多有关FXCM的资产负债表，请浏览http://www.fxcm-chinese.com/tc/about/news-release.html。

FXCM Makes Offer to Rescue 3,800 Forex Trading Accounts of CFG Trader:
NFA and CFTC Currently Reviewing Offer
March 26, 2007
· CFG Trader, a Richmond, VA foreign exchange trading company, was forced to liquidate all open trading positions by the NFA on March 21 of this year, because it failed to meet NFA's capital requirements;
· Forex Capital Markets LLC (FXCM) has agreed to accept the CFG Trader accounts - representing approximately 3,800 individual traders, pending regulatory approval. CFTC and NFA approval are required in order for the agreement reached between CFG Trader and FXCM to be consummated;
· FXCM is prepared to contribute approximately $1 million dollars to make up the difference between the assets of CFG Trader and the funds owed to CFG clients due to under-capitalization, should the CFTC and NFA approve the transaction;
· Under the proposed agreement between CFG Trader and FXCM, no CFG client will lose money due to the under-capitalization of CFG Trader. If the NFA and CFTC do not approve the agreement, there is no certainty that CFG clients will receive 100% of their funds.
These announcements were made by Drew Niv, CEO of Forex Capital Markets, the global currency trading firm.
"After the NFA decided to suspend CFG Trader operations, we received several requests to protect their clients against loss," said Niv.
"FXCM is prepared to provide one million dollars in order to make the CFG clients whole. If the transfer goes through, all the account holders will have their funds intact," said Niv.
FXCM Calls For Higher Standards
"Our strong balance sheet, which greatly exceeds NFA requirements, is enabling FXCM to put on the table an offer which may keep the 3,800 CFG traders from losing money. We hope the NFA and CFTC will enable us to protect these clients from substantial losses," said Niv.
"This incident points to the fact that there are still some companies in the forex industry that are inadequately capitalized. We think it is vitally important that all currency trading clients have full information regarding the financial strength of forex trading firms."
"We at FXCM have taken the major step of making our balance sheet public," said Niv. "We challenge other firms in the industry to follow our lead."
FXCM recently released its financial details: The FXCM Group as of January 31, 2007, held over $120,660,927 In Capital (Assets Minus Liabilities) and $98,657,018 In Operating Cash (Excludes Client Funds.) For more details on FXCM's balance sheet, visit http://www.fxcm.com/company-profile.jsp.)
