Is TMGM Legit？

TMGM, a regulated broker, holds authorization from the tier-one regulator ASIC and is also licensed by the New Zealand Financial Markets Authority (FMA). Additionally, TMGM's international operations are overseen by the VFSC in Vanuatu offshore. Now, let's quickly delve into TMGM's regulations and licenses, which will shed light on how the broker ensures compliance with industry standards and protects clients.

Regulated Country	Regulated Authority	Regulated Entity	License Type	License Number
	ASIC	TRADEMAX AUSTRALIA LIMITED	Market Making(MM)	436416
	FMA	TRADEMAX GLOBAL MARKETS (NZ) LIMITED	Market Making(MM)	569807
	VFSC	Trademax Global Limited	Retail Forex License	40356

Under the oversight of ASIC, a prominent tier-1 regulatory authority, TMGM's Australian branch known as TRADEMAX AUSTRALIA LIMITED operates with regulatory number 436416. This entity is licensed for Market Making (MM). As per the stringent rules set by ASIC, which is globally recognized, brokers must ensure the safety of clients' funds.

Since TMGM claims to obtain the ASIC license, an investigation team from WikiFX visited the company's registered address in Australia. This visit, conducted in person, revealed that the company is operating smoothly and on a large scale. This direct observation by the investigator enhances our confidence in TMGM's legitimacy and highlights its strong and credible operations under ASIC's regulation.

TMGM's another entity, the entity in New Zealand known as TRADEMAX GLOBAL MARKETS (NZ) LIMITED, similarly, holds a Maket Making (MM) lincense from the authorization of FMA.

Lastly, TMGM's international branch, Trademax Global Limited, operates under the regulation and authorization of VFSC offshore, holding a license for retail forex activities.
