TBR DESK AUDIT · PUBLIC SOURCES · AA 70/100

Very strong

Desk audit. TBR carried out this audit on its own initiative, using public sources only. No firm paid for it. No accounts were opened or tested, so Execution & Pricing and Operational Resilience were not assessed and do not count towards the grade. Fusion Markets may respond, and any response is published in full. How desk audits are scored. See Verified audits, which our trading experts test hands-on.

Summary

Fusion Markets serves Australian clients under an ASIC licence and EU clients through a Cyprus company licensed by CySEC in 2024, but clients elsewhere contract with companies licensed in Seychelles and Vanuatu, where no compensation scheme applies and negative balance protection is discretionary. The group does not disclose its owners or publish accounts, and no enforcement action was found.

Notes and sources

Evidence and scope

Scope

Desk audit of the group’s client-facing entities, using public sources only: regulator registers and announcements, company records, and the firm’s own published documents, as available on 10 October 2026. No accounts were opened, nothing was tested live, and the firm was not asked for evidence.

Limitations

Absence of a public enforcement record is not evidence of good conduct. Fusion Markets EU Ltd’s membership of the Investor Compensation Fund is taken from its own documents. ASIC enforcement was checked through its media releases and published reports, not the Federal Court files. The Seychelles licence number is taken from the firm’s disclosures. The owners of the group companies could not be identified from free public sources, and no accounts were found. Fusion Markets’ Australian disclosure documents could not be loaded from our location. How clients are allocated between the Seychelles and Vanuatu companies, and the share of clients they serve, could not be established from public sources.
