CMC Markets started out as a foreign exchange broker (sometimes also called forex) in 1989 when entrepreneur Peter Cruddas famously started the company with a £10,000 investment. Peter called his firm the "Currency Management Corporation" and set up a small office with just a desk and a phone. In 1996 Peter launched the world's first online forex trading platform. Since then CMC Markets has evolved into one of the world’s leading online CFD providers and financial spread betting companies, with over 26 million trades executed annually.
