About SVG FSA
St. Vincent & the Grenadines has no dedicated financial regulator for forex brokers; entities register as International Business Companies (IBCs) under the FSA (Financial Services Authority), which oversees company formation but does not regulate trading activity. This lax, registration-only model makes SVG a popular ultra-offshore hub with minimal oversight and low costs. Brokers operate globally with no investor protection mandates.
