Our Story

Over 15 Years of Institutional Trust

Founded in Dubai in 2009, GMG has grown from a single regulated office to a global inter-dealer broker with a presence across the Middle East, Europe, and Africa.

Our Foundation

GMG Brokers was established in the Dubai International Financial Centre with a clear mandate: to provide institutional clients in the Middle East and beyond with access to world-class inter-dealer brokerage services. Regulated from day one by the Dubai Financial Services Authority, we built our reputation on the cornerstones of regulatory integrity, market expertise, and client service.

Global Expansion

As our client base and product capabilities grew, so did our footprint. The establishment of GMG Brokers Ltd in London under FCA authorisation extended our reach into European fixed income and derivatives markets. Following Brexit, we established GMG Europe B.V. in Amsterdam — a fully licensed entity under the AFM, ensuring continuity of EU-regulated services for our continental European clients. Our expansion into sub-Saharan Africa through GMG Africa (Pty) Ltd in Johannesburg completes a network that spans three continents.

Our Approach

Inter-dealer brokerage is a relationship business. The enduring success of our firm rests on the depth of our client relationships, the quality of our market intelligence, and the integrity with which we conduct ourselves. We are a privately held firm — our alignment is with our clients and our regulators, not with short-term shareholder returns. This independence is one of our most important competitive advantages.
