October 4th 2022, The Financial Commission today announces increases in several key metrics, including amounts sought and awarded to traders, as well as improved dispute resolution times as part of its quarterly Complaints Digest. The organization experienced a rise in new and resolved complaints, amounts sought from non-member brokers, average complaint values and complaints ruled in favor of traders in the 3rd quarter of the year.
Key highlights for 3Q vs. 2Q 2022:
Quarter Over Quarter Comparison
Key Takeaways
Conclusions
Renewed focus on forex and derivatives trading following weak cryptocurrency prices among investors impacted several key metrics of the Financial Commission in the third quarter of 2022. Renewed growth in filed and resolved complaints, as well as compensation sought suggest traders may be taking advantage of price volatility on traditional markets in light of the negative impact to such asset classes as digital currencies. In 3Q 2022 the organization also experienced growth of all amounts sought metrics, including total amounts sought and those only attributed to members and non-members. There was a significant change in the complaints topics for the period, with financial complaints rising 54% and non-trading complaints falling by 13% of all new complaints for the period. Complaints listed in the value category $1-10K jumped 25%, highlighting the continued importance of the organization to investigate complaints with higher monetary values. During the quarter, the Dispute Resolution Committee (DRC) accumulated more complaint investigations carrying over into 4Q 2022 due to the complex nature of the dispute subjects, while nonetheless improving already exceptional average resolution times, which still continue to outpace alternative EDR services.

July 27th, 2022, The Financial Commission today announces its operating metrics for the first half of 2022 as part of its ongoing Complaints Digest publications highlighting the organization’s performance. Continued interest in trading among investors has led to a steady rise in some key metrics of the dispute resolution service of the organization, while average dispute resolution times continued to improve.

Key Half Year Highlights (as compared to 2H 2021):
A Detailed Summary
Key Takeaways for 1H 2022
Conclusions
The Financial Commission continues to effectively resolve traders’ disputes and public inquiries during continued market volatility around the world, with total resolved complaints for the 1st half of 2022 being 6% higher than 2H 2021. The drop in average complaints values and changes in the complaints value categories suggest that many new investors have entered the market on the heels of significant equity and crypto market growth that occurred in the later stages of 2021.
The Dispute Resolution Committee witnessed a rise in compensation sought from member brokers of 26%, indicating the rise in demand for trading services among Financial Commission members, while also experiencing a drop of 66% in compensation sought from non-members, suggesting that warnings and notices issued regularly by the Financial Commission and financial regulators worldwide may be deterring investors from becoming victims of untrustworthy companies and exchanges.
The continued effectiveness of the dispute resolution service is also highlighted by the 12% rise in member complaints for the half year. “Non-trading related” complaints continue to grow with a 5% uptick to 1112 in this time period, highlighting the broad scope of issues experienced by traders today. The highest trending complaints topics included account blocking, withdrawal of funds and price check requests further highlighting the continued interest in trading FX and CFD markets by traders of all experience levels.
