The narrative

Andrey Dashin founder of FXTM and Exinity Group and Alpari International

The story of Alpari is not new to FinTelegram readers. The Russian broker, which has been around since 1998, and its founder Andrey Dashin (pictured left) have an interesting history. Dashin moved his operations from Russia to Cyprus where he operates the CySEC, UK FCA, and FSCA South Africa-regulated ForexTime d/b/a FXTM broker. Both Alpari and ForexTime use Mauritius-registered Exinity Limited for their offshore operations and appear to share resources.

Today, Alpari International is a global financial brand that serves over 2 million customers from more than 150 countries. Alpari International has been regularly receiving prestigious national and international awards, and nowadays is recognized globally. The average annual turnover of the Alpari brand exceeds $1 trillion.

Andrey Dashin on his website

In addition, there are also links to the ForTrade group which operates the ForTrade broker in Russia together with Alparia Broker LLC with the domain www.gloryft.com.

It is not clear in this group of Alpari, ForexTime and ForTrade where one company ends and the other begins. There seems to be overlap and blurring. The regulators responsible are apparently missing the big picture. Although they warn against specific activities and companies of this network, they fail to investigate the network. Most recently, the FCA warned against Alpari and the German BaFin announced investigations against Fortrade.
