Introducing Broker Programme

Partner with an FCA-authorised UK execution firm.

YCM Invest works with a select group of financial professionals who introduce qualifying clients to our execution and allocation services. If your clients trade, and you want to offer them institutional-grade infrastructure backed by a regulated UK firm, we want to hear from you.

How it works
Why partner with YCM

Infrastructure your clients can rely on.

Your reputation is tied to the firm you refer clients to. Here is what YCM Invest brings to that relationship.

FCA Authorised

Regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority since 2007. YCM Invest is a professional-only execution and investment management firm operating under full FCA authorisation.

FRN 470392
Institutional Infrastructure

MT4, MT5, FIX API from LD4, and Currenex. Multi-asset access covering FX, metals, indices, energy, commodities, futures, options and crypto CFDs for professional clients.

Protected Client Funds

Client funds held with Barclays Bank UK. Excess FSCS insurance cover arranged with an aggregate limit of GBP 5,000,000 and up to GBP 500,000 for any one claimant, subject to policy terms.

Capital Allocation Access

Clients you introduce may qualify for YCM's capital allocation programme. Qualifying professional traders can access monitored capital beyond their own deposit — something most brokers cannot offer.

IB Commission

Earn on every client you introduce.

Your commission structure is agreed with our IB team before onboarding — shaped around your client book, volume profile and the nature of the referral arrangement. We do not operate a one-size-fits-all commission schedule.

  • Volume-based commission Calculated on the trading activity of clients you introduce, paid monthly with full transparency.
  • Monthly settlement Commission is calculated and settled on a monthly cycle. You receive a clear statement of referred client activity and earnings.
  • Sub-IB structures If you operate a network of introducing agents, structured sub-IB arrangements are available for qualifying partnerships.
  • Your client relationship stays yours YCM provides the regulated execution infrastructure. You remain the point of contact for your clients.
Commission is discussed, not listed.

We work with IBs on a case-by-case basis. Commission rates, settlement terms and any additional arrangement are agreed privately before any agreement is signed. Arrange a call with our IB team to discuss your specific situation.

Who we work with

We partner selectively.

YCM Invest does not operate a mass IB programme. We work with a select number of professionals who refer qualifying institutional or professional clients.

Financial Advisers

Wealth managers and independent financial advisers whose clients are active in FX or multi-asset markets and meet professional client criteria.

Trading Room Operators

Operators of proprietary trading rooms or signal services who introduce their traders to a regulated execution environment.

Fund Introducers

Placement agents and fund introducers who work with investors seeking access to managed execution or the YCM Edge investment product.

Broker Networks

FX broker networks or white-label operators looking for a regulated UK execution partner for their institutional client base.

Corporate Introducers

Corporate entities or consultants who maintain relationships with treasury departments, family offices, or other institutional participants.

Multi-Manager Structures

Entities that manage or introduce multiple portfolio managers or traders, where a single IB arrangement covers an entire managed group.

All clients introduced through an IB arrangement must qualify as professional clients or eligible counterparties under FCA definitions. YCM Invest is authorised for professional clients only. Retail clients cannot be onboarded.
