ParFX supports adherence to FX Global Code of Conduct

25 May 2017

ParFX, the wholesale electronic trading platform, has issued an official statement in support of the recently launched FX Global Code of Conduct. The Code outlines a single set of principles to promote integrity and effectiveness across the global foreign exchange market.

Dan Marcus, CEO of ParFX comments:

“ParFX welcomes the launch of the FX Global Code for the wholesale foreign exchange (FX) market. This initiative sets out guidelines and principles that will strengthen the integrity and effectiveness of the FX market.

“The Code aims to instil the notion of truly ethical behaviour for all participants, and outlines an effective framework that, amongst other things, promotes responsible and sustainable trading behaviour. These key values now need to be hardwired into the FX market.

“We strongly support adherence across the industry and fully intend to commit to the Code, as it aligns closely with our key principles of fairness, equality and transparency.

“In addition, we intend to promote the Code amongst our customers by encouraging them to evolve their institutions’ FX practices so they are consistent with the principles laid out in the Code.”
