FXCM Group Terminates Management Agreement With Global Brokerage

NEW YORK, Oct. 02, 2017 -- FXCM Group, LLC ("FXCM Group" or “FXCM”), a leading international provider of online foreign exchange trading, CFD trading, spread betting and related services, today announced that the Management Agreement between FXCM and Global Brokerage Holdings, LLC (“Holdings”) had been terminated. 

The termination of the Management Agreement was mutually agreed by the parties and reflects the continuing separation of FXCM from Global Brokerage.
