Edgewater Markets International has obtained an Investment Dealer licence from the Financial Services Commission Mauritius, according to the regulator’s online public register.
Finance Magnates learned that the company received a SEC-2.1B Investment Dealer Full Service Dealer excluding Underwriting licence on May 27, 2026. The authorisation allows the firm to operate as a full-service investment dealer.
This includes executing securities transactions on behalf of clients, dealing as principal, providing investment advice, and offering portfolio management services. The licence does not permit underwriting activities.
Earlier, Edgewater launched forex trading technology services for Gulf Cooperation Council currencies, including Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE, as well as Egypt.
Edgewater Markets Obtains Mauritius Licence
The FSC public register did not include additional details on the company’s ownership structure, target markets, or planned business activities.
The new approval adds another regulated entity to Mauritius’ financial services sector. The jurisdiction has attracted a growing number of brokerage and investment firms in recent years. In 2023, Edgewater Markets obtained an FCA licence for its UK entity.
Brokers Use FSC Mauritius Framework
Mauritius has positioned itself as a jurisdiction used by firms seeking regulatory diversification and access to international markets through an offshore financial centre. The FSC Investment Dealer licence is commonly used by brokers offering multi-asset trading and cross-border services.
Several brokerage groups have already secured FSC licences as part of their expansion strategies. These include GMI Group, which obtained a Mauritius licence to expand its regulated footprint, and Global Kapital, which also used the jurisdiction during its international expansion.
Other firms have followed a similar path. B2Broker received an FSC licence in 2022. Doo Prime also obtained a Mauritius Investment Dealer licence as part of its efforts to expand its regulated presence.
