According to its website, Morgan is owned by a group of companies, which operates the business through a website that is registered in the USA, providing access to “…CFD trading, master plan real estate trading, commodity trading and indices trading with award-winning equity, cryptocurrency and Forex trading master plans.”.

Without commenting on the business of Morgan or its products and services, the FSCA points out that, for a company to offer CFD (Contracts for Difference) trading in South Africa, it must be licensed to do so by the FSCA. The FSCA wishes to inform the public that Morgan is not authorised to trade in CFDs or to provide financial advisory & intermediary services in South Africa.

The FSCA reminds customers who wish to conduct financial services with an institution or person to check beforehand with the FSCA on either the toll-free number (0800 110 443) or on
