Key Takeaways

Conclusions

The Financial Commission improved its already quick and efficient dispute resolution services to traders and broker members in 2022. New global market price volatility and geopolitical uncertainty provided for a renewed interest in online trading, leading to a record amount of new complaints for the organization, as well as improved operational metrics. 

The organization further expanded its membership ranks with large, internationally recognized brokers, as well as new members in the Asia region. The organization’s free dispute resolution service to traders gained popularity in Asia, Latin America and Europe with new complaints from these regions growing 47%, 38% and 30% respectively, while complaints from the Middle East grew moderately at 15% in 2022. The Financial Commission also saw a continued decrease of 38% in complaints from Russia and former Soviet republics, as local market restrictions remained in place.

The majority of complaints in 2022 were related to non-trading issues with 58% of the total, while financial related disputes accounted for 29% and trading related complaints 13%. The most popular topics for complaints dealt with account blocking (29%), funds withdrawal (19%), price check (14%), non-market quotes (7%) and stop-out orders (6%). Of all resolved complaints, 42% were resolved “in favor of the broker” and 16% resolved “in favor of the client”, while 52% were found to be outside the organization’s jurisdiction. 

Heading into 2023, the Financial Commission expects to see healthy global demand for trading and investing, particularly among younger traders, with fiscal and geopolitical risks impacting the prices of commodities, equities and digital assets through the year.  In this regard the organization is prepared to handle a further growth in the number of new complaints from traders during the year.

Quarter Over Quarter Comparison

Key Takeaways

Conclusions

Range bound forex and derivatives prices, as well as winter holidays impacted several key metrics of the Financial Commission in the final quarter of 2022. Slowdowns in filed and resolved complaints, as well as compensation sought suggest traders may be finding less opportunities on traditional markets in light of range bound price fluctuations or simply forwent trading at the end of the year. In 4Q 2022 the organization also experienced a drop in most amounts sought metrics, except those attributed to members. There was a noticeable change in the complaints topics for the period, with trading-related complaints rising 5% month-over-month despite the general drop in new complaints for the quarter. Complaints listed in the value category $1-10K and $10K+ increased their overall share of complaints 5%, highlighting the continued importance of the organization to investigate complaints with higher monetary values. During the quarter, the Dispute Resolution Committee (DRC) managed to accumulate less complaint investigations carrying over into the New Year, as compared to 3Q, while experiencing a rise in already exceptional average resolution times, which still continue to outpace alternative EDR services.
