Frequently Asked Questions
How do I verify that a brokerage firm is licensed?
Every ECMF member firm holds a current FRA licence. Check the Member Directory, then confirm the licence number against the FRA public register before opening an account.
What is the settlement cycle on the Egyptian Exchange?
Most listed equities settle on a T+2 basis through MCDR, with same-day settlement available for selected instruments under intraday trading rules.
Who can access ECMF research?
Summary research is public. Full datasets, member surveys and committee papers are available to member firms through the Members Portal.
Does ECMF provide investment advice?
No. ECMF is an industry federation. We publish market education and research; investment advice may only be provided by FRA-licensed advisors.
