What happened to XM UK?
Hedgeweek dated the XM UK launch, as Trading Point of Financial Instruments UK Limited, 22 November 2016. Companies House lists 09436004 under its new name; the filing history records the change-of-name certificate on 7 January 2025. The trading.com/uk footer gives FRN 705428 and says 70.6% of retail investor accounts lose money trading CFDs with this provider. The page read names neither XM nor Trading Point; nothing read here shows current ownership or client transfers.
Is New World XM the same firm?
No record read links them. The FCA warning places New World XM in Great Neck, New York. XM TRADING POINT UK LIMITED is a dissolved near-namesake; no page read connects it to XM Group. As with IC Markets, a familiar name is not a permission, and the Warning List is not the Register.
Questions about XM and the FCA
Is XM regulated by the FCA?
The company that launched as XM UK, now Trading.com Markets UK Limited, states on its website that it is FCA authorised under FRN 705428. xm.com and xmglobal.com returned access-denied pages to this desk on 3 October 2026, so the XM brand’s own UK status is not stated here. Check the FS Register.
Which XM entity would hold a UK client’s account?
The client agreement names the contracting company, and no agreement was read here. Find the company name and number in the terms, then match both against Companies House and the FS Register. A homepage brand does not identify the firm holding the money.
What should I do if the register and the broker’s website disagree?
Believe the Register. Search it by firm reference number and compare the name, address and website it records with the page in front of you. If they differ, treat the website as unproven until the firm, reached through the Register’s contact details, explains the gap.
CFDs carry a substantial risk of loss, a renamed company is not a renewed permission, and nothing here is financial advice. Check the Register.
