Founded in 1995 and headquartered in London, IFX Markets is a pioneering legacy brand within the global electronic financial trading sector, engineered during the dawn of retail foreign exchange to deliver institutional-grade market access. The broker provided an extensive portfolio of tradable financial instruments, including major and minor forex currency pairs, global stock indices, precious metals, energies, and soft commodities. Standing out for its high-performance trading infrastructure, IFX Markets initially launched proprietary trading terminals before fully incorporating advanced MetaTrader architectures, delivering market execution backed by deep aggregated tier-1 banking liquidity. Its technical setup guaranteed ultra-fast execution, deep market depth, and competitive pricing models featuring raw floating spreads starting from 0.0 pips. In 2006, IFX Markets was strategically acquired by the US brokerage giant GAIN Capital, serving as a core institutional and regional arm for the group. Following the subsequent acquisition of GAIN Capital by the NASDAQ-listed global financial services conglomerate StoneX Group Inc. (formerly INTL FCStone) in 2020, the corporate architecture was streamlined. To optimize its portfolio, the group systematically retired the legacy IFX Markets brand, migrating its technological frameworks, deep liquidity networks, and active client accounts under its premier, multi-regulated global trading brand, City Index, backed by automated negative balance protection and elite asset segregation.
