Ikon GM NFA会员：零售外汇业面临战略转移

纽约，2010年10月20日（纳斯达克GLOBE NEWSWIRE消息）：过去一年，Ikon GM公司和世界上最大的交易所（纳斯达克）达成了联合经营的战略合作伙伴关系，共同开发出了为零售外汇市场量身定做的产品。就用户体验来看，这种产品与传统的场外外汇交易没有任何区别，并且结合了清算金融产品交易的优势。目前全球金融市场风云变幻，尤其是美国表现最为显著。在2010年10月15日（星期五）休市时候发布了Dodd-Frank金融改革法，该法案提出了新的要求和限制性的规定，这个由CFTC和NFA共同执行的法令对零售外汇市场造成了很大的影响。过去一年里Ikon GM详细咨询了立法人员，监管机构和市场参与者，最终，我们决定时机已经成熟，外汇市场（尤其是零售市场）应该转向使用正规的交易所来保护客户的利益。

为使之成为可能，Ikon付出了很大的努力，作为战略联盟，Ikon GM创造了这种新型交易的模型。在过去我们一直相信在未来的零售外汇市场，Ikon GM不再像传统交易那样扮演零售场外外汇市场的对手方。因此，为了准备这种新型的交易模型，在2010年10月15日星期五Ikon GM停止了与美国本土零售客户的合作，国际客户都被转户到FSA会员Ikon Capital公司。尽管我们已经不再扮演传统场外外汇交易的合约对手，我们依然为机构客户提供服务，并且继续开拓交易市场和开发ECN平台。我们期待在下周为您提供这个新型交易模型的更多新闻，敬请关注。

IKON GM NFA ID: 0327622, Inc. Announces Strategic Shift in the Retail Foreign Exchange Business

NEW YORK, Oct. 20, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Over the last year, IKON Global Markets, Inc. ("IKON GM") has formed a strategic alliance and joint venture with one of the world's largest exchanges to develop a suite of products tailored to the retail FX market. These products will offer the same user experience as traditional OTC FX, in conjunction with the all benefits of an exchange cleared financial product. There are many changes occurring in the global financial markets, most notably in the United States. The passing of the Dodd-Frank Financial Reform Act has brought on many new requirements and restrictions. These new policies enforced by the US CFTC and the NFA have affected the retail market as of the close of business Friday October 15th, 2010. Ultimately, as we consulted legislators, regulators and market participants over the past year, we came to the determination that the

has come for the Foreign Exchange market (particularly the retail market) to move to the customer protections and integrity of a regulated exchange. We at IKON have taken steps to create this possibility, and as a result of our strategic alliance, IKON GM has developed this new exchange based model. Given this glimpse into what we believe to be the future of retail FX, IKON GM has decided that we will no longer be acting as a traditional counterparty in the retail OTC FX market. Therefore, in order to prepare for this exchange based model, IKON GM has transferred or ceased trading with US based retail clients as of the close of business Friday October 15th, 2010. International clients have been transferred to IKON Capital, Ltd., an FSA registered firm. Although we will no longer be acting as a traditional counterparty in the retail OTC FX market, we will continue to service institutional clients, as well as make markets on exchange and ECN platforms. We look forward to bringing you further news of this new and innovative model in the coming weeks.
