Hadi Zaarour’s nearly two decades in finance, the founding of ZXCM Group, and his vision for a transparent trading ecosystem are spotlighted in Forbes Middle East’s latest feature
LIMASSOL, Cyprus, October 03, 2025 (EZ Newswire) — Forbes Middle East has published an exclusive feature on Hadi Zaarour, founder and CEO of ZX Capital Markets (ZXCM) and executive head of ZXCM Group Holding, spotlighting his mission to challenge global trading norms and rebuild trust in an industry often overshadowed by “get-rich-quick” promises.
The article describes Zaarour as “swimming against the current,” establishing ZXCM in 2023 on a foundation of one uncompromising principle: “No deception, no exaggeration, just fair trading.” With nearly 20 years of leadership experience in financial services and operations, Zaarour launched ZXCM to provide traders with clarity, honesty, and access to a platform free from gimmicks.
“I spent years building visions and profits for others. It was time to create something that reflected my own values,” he told Forbes.
A Platform Rooted in Transparency
ZXCM operates as a fully integrated financial platform, offering Forex and CFD trading to a diverse client base — from individual retail traders to professional and institutional investors. Leveraging MetaTrader 5 technology, competitive liquidity from leading global providers, and robust infrastructure, ZXCM has built a trading environment where transparency is the true capital.
But as Zaarour emphasizes, it is not technology alone that defines ZXCM: “We don’t sell dreams, and we don’t claim trading is easy. The market is tough, and most who enter lose money. What we promise is a fair environment that respects the trader’s intelligence.”
A Turning Point: Partnership with Scope Prime
One of ZXCM’s defining milestones was its strategic partnership with Scope Prime, a global institutional arm of Rostro Group. Zaarour describes the collaboration as a turning point that gave ZXCM international reach without compromising independence: “The partnership with Scope didn’t just enhance our tools, it gave us global scale without sacrificing our autonomy. We gained access to world-class infrastructure while keeping full operational control internally.”
This step allowed ZXCM to strengthen its pricing competitiveness, expand its global client base, and focus on the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region — where most of its team members originate. Zaarour believes that “understanding regional nuances is critical to the success of any financial company.”
Looking Ahead: Beyond Brokerage
Forbes highlights Zaarour’s forward-looking vision of ZXCM as more than just a broker. Plans include expanding intowealth management, funding for talented traders, and the development of independent, in-house infrastructure that reduces reliance on external providers.
“We don’t want to be just a trading company. We want to be a complete financial ecosystem — a true partner in our clients’ financial journey, not just an intermediary between them and the market,” Zaarour said.
