±«ÓãÖ±²¥ FMA - Influencing Industry Behaviour, Supporting Market Practice
±«ÓãÖ±²¥ (±«ÓãÖ±²¥ FMA) is a leading global trade association representing the interests of the professional wholesale financial markets community. Established in 1955, ±«ÓãÖ±²¥ FMA is focused on enhancing best market practice and supporting market participants to adhere to principles of ethical conduct.
Our ±«ÓãÖ±²¥ Model Code was acknowledged as the first industry-wide Code of Conduct for OTC FX and related markets having been built on the original ±«ÓãÖ±²¥ Codes of Conduct from the 1970s. Subsequently updated to embrace the broader OTC community - and expanded from the dealing room through to back office operations - the ±«ÓãÖ±²¥ Model Code has strongly influenced many national Codes of Conduct but was retired in 2017 with the publication of the FX Global Code, the composition of which ±«ÓãÖ±²¥ FMA participated in, as well as other Code of Conduct initiatives.
