At its core, Fair + Trade is about ensuring that your interests as a trader are aligned with our interests as a broker, and that through this mutually beneficial relationship, both parties are better off.
In more direct terms, we believe that traders are better off with us since we’re not making money from their losses. Furthermore, we see it as our duty to create the conditions that are conducive to a traders success by offering institutional trading benefits to the individual.
Our Purpose
Global Prime was founded in 2010 and is an Australian owned and operated Financial Services Provider.
The Company was originally founded to cater to the then booming user base of the MT4 platform. This was at a time when expert advisors were becoming more mainstream and ‘ECNs’ were starting to become more common among retail brokers.
In 2011, the management of Global Prime asked if Elan Bension and Jeremy Kinstlinger, current happy clients, could join the team to take Global Prime to the next level.
Overnight, the two went from being traders to running a brokerage and the decision was made to open up Global Prime's transparent institutional Forex offering to retail investors.
Bringing institutional benefits to the individual has been in the Company’s DNA ever since.
The Global Prime leadership team has over 80+ combined years of experience within financial trading and related markets.
