Global Prime — institutional liquidity provider
Global Prime operates under FMGP Trading Group Pty Ltd, licensed in Australia and Vanuatu. It offers a range of asset classes including FX spot and Crypto CFDs, but has not disclosed specific connectivity details. The firm claims execution speeds from as low as 10ms, though this is self-measured without a defined test boundary.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| ASIC | 385620 | Australia | tier-1 | open source ↗ |
| VFSC | 40256 (company number) | Vanuatu | tier-3 | open source ↗ |
Tier classification follows the same scale as the retail register: tier-2 means real supervision and client-money segregation, without an investor compensation scheme — never misread it as tier-1 protection.

A firm that publishes its own negative space — who it refuses, where it is not licensed — is materially easier to diligence than one that doesn't. The refusal list is treated here as a disclosure, not a defect.
