Explore the pivotal moments that have defined our evolution. Each milestone marks a strategic step forward in our pursuit of performance, innovation and global leadership.

2006 - Advanced Markets LLC

Founded by current CEO Anthony Brocco, Advanced Markets was established as a Forex Dealer Member (FDM) with the National Futures Association (NFA). This marked the firm’s entry into institutional trading, setting the stage for its regulatory-first approach and long-term industry presence.

2013 - Advanced Markets Ltd

To align with institutional priorities, the firm withdrew from the NFA and obtained authorisation from the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC). The Cayman entity was granted an Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL 444649) allowing broader regulatory flexibility.

2017 – Advanced Markets (UK) Ltd

Advanced Markets opened its London office and received regulatory approval from the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in 2018 under licence #777739. This expansion strengthened the firm’s European presence and reinforced its ongoing commitment to global compliance.

2025 – Strategic Expansion & Innovation

Advanced Markets launches new technology-driven solutions to enhance execution speed, market transparency and client access. The firm scales its infrastructure and partnerships across major global financial centres, reinforcing its leadership in institutional FX trading.
