Built for Global
Traders.
Sthirix connects UAE-based investors with regulated global forex trading opportunities. We operate as a Category 5 introduction and promotion firm under the UAE Capital Market Authority.
Trading foreign exchange (forex) on margin carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. Sthirix Financial Services LLC is licensed by the UAE Capital Market Authority (CMA) under Category 5 for introduction and promotion activities only. We do not execute trades, hold client funds, or provide portfolio management services.
Built on a foundation of compliance.
Sthirix Financial Services LLC is a UAE mainland entity licensed and regulated under Category 5 for financial introduction and promotion activities. Our role is intentionally narrow, transparent, and compliance-led.
We operate under the framework established by Federal Decree Law No. 33 of 2023. Our responsibility is to introduce qualified clients to regulated global forex brokers and provide market information, educational resources, and compliant promotional services.
We never execute trades, hold client funds, or manage investment portfolios. That distinction matters, and we make it explicit across every client interaction and every communication.
Every engagement is structured to be transparent about scope, limitations, and the fact that the underlying trading relationship sits with a separately licensed executing broker.
Regulated Activity Only
Our Category 5 license authorises introduction and promotion activities exclusively, with clear conduct and disclosure obligations.
UAE Mainland Entity
Sthirix is incorporated in the UAE mainland and operates under full local supervisory expectations and licensing standards.
KYC & AML Discipline
Our onboarding and referral process is aligned with identity verification, source-of-funds awareness, and client suitability controls.
Client-First Communication
Every introduction, promotion, and informational document is structured to be transparent about role, limits, and risk.
What we do, and what we deliberately do not do.
As a CMA Category 5 licensed firm, our activities are specifically defined. This section separates permitted activity from important operating boundaries.
Client Introduction
We introduce qualified individuals and entities to regulated, internationally licensed forex brokers after internal due diligence and suitability screening.
Financial Promotion
We produce and distribute CMA-compliant financial promotions designed to be fair, clear, and not misleading for eligible audiences.
Market Information
We share market context, educational material, and research summaries to support understanding without crossing into personalised advice.
Important Limitations
Sthirix does not execute trades, manage client money, hold custody, provide discretionary portfolio management, or operate a trading platform.
How a client introduction typically progresses.
Initial Enquiry
A prospective client shares their objectives, market interest, and regulatory questions with our team.
Suitability & Referral Review
We assess the referral context, provide required disclosures, and determine whether an introduction is appropriate.
Broker Introduction
Where suitable, the client is introduced to a separately licensed executing broker for the trading relationship itself.
Compliance is the product, not the fine print.
Sthirix operates within the UAE Capital Market Authority framework, aligned with FDL33, fair communication standards, and core client protection expectations.
CMA Licensing
Licensed under UAE CMA Category 5 for introduction and promotion of financial services, with ongoing renewal and oversight requirements.
Conduct Framework
Our approach aligns with Federal Decree Law No. 33 of 2023 and the SCA Rulebook, including disclosure, communication, and market conduct obligations.
AML / KYC Procedures
Client review procedures include identity checks, risk profiling, and referral controls consistent with UAE AML expectations.
Fair Promotions
All promotions are reviewed to remain fair, clear, and not misleading, with risk warnings included where relevant.
Complaints Handling
Complaints can be submitted to our Compliance Officer and escalated to the UAE CMA if a client is dissatisfied with the outcome.
Global FX exposure through regulated broker relationships.
Through relationships with regulated executing brokers, Sthirix introduces clients to a range of major forex currency pairs. Trading itself is undertaken with the broker.
Sthirix introduces. The broker executes.
Sthirix does not operate a platform or execute trades on behalf of clients. The listed pairs are examples of markets available through separately licensed executing brokers.
Past performance is not indicative of future results.
Trading forex involves significant risk of loss. Prospective clients should assess experience, objectives, and risk appetite carefully before proceeding with any trading relationship.
