Perhaps the best-known of all offshore financial havens, the British Virgin Islands has for a long time been a favorite among forex & CFD brokers looking to incorporate offshore. Although brokerage companies in the BVI are regulated by the British Virgin Islands Financial Services Commission (BVIFSC), this regulator exercises minimal control over these brokers’ activities.
Among the many brokers located in the British Virgin Islands are also some that offer stock trading in the form of leveraged CFDs. This is popular among many independent traders because it offers an ideal way to profit from the price swings in stocks, even for traders with just small trading accounts.
