Manchester-based firm has funded and paid out more than 36,000 traders worldwide, cementing its position as the first of its kind in the proprietary trading industry.
MANCHESTER, UNITED KINGDOM: KM Global Capital, the United Kingdom’s first broker-backed Sharia-compliant proprietary trading firm, today announced it has surpassed $20 million in total trader payouts, with more than 36,000 traders funded worldwide since launch. The milestone reinforces the firm’s standing as the first of its kind: a prop firm built from the ground up around genuine Sharia compliance, rather than one retrofitting an Islamic option onto a conventional trading model.
The announcement comes at a time of rapid growth in the funded trading industry, where thousands of skilled traders seek access to significant capital without risking their own funds. Yet for Muslim traders, that growth has often come with a compromise. Most prop firms operate on conventional structures built around interest-bearing mechanisms, overnight swap charges, and rollover fees, all of which conflict with core Islamic finance principles. The result has been a market full of firms that describe themselves as “Islamic-friendly” while offering little more than a relabelled version of the same conventional product.
KM Global Capital was created to close that gap. Rather than layering a swap-free option onto an existing model, the firm structured its entire offering around Sharia compliance as the default. Every Islamic account is built on true 1:1 spot trading, with 0% riba, 0% swap fees, and 0% overnight fees applied automatically. There is no interest charged at any level, no rollover cost, and no hidden mechanism that quietly reintroduces the very structures Islamic finance prohibits.
Crucially, the firm delivers this without compromising on modern trading conditions, giving traders access to competitive spreads, fast execution, and professional-grade infrastructure.
What further distinguishes KM Global Capital is its broker-backed structure. Unlike the many prop firms that operate purely on simulated capital with no institutional support behind them, KM Global Capital’s funded accounts are supported directly by broker infrastructure. This gives traders added confidence in three areas that matter most: execution quality, transparency of operations, and the integrity of the capital standing behind their accounts. In an industry where firms have collapsed overnight and left funded traders unpaid, that backing represents a meaningful difference rather than a marketing line.
The results speak for themselves. Since launch, the firm has paid out more than $20 million to its trader community, with over 36,000 traders funded across the globe. These figures have been independently verified, giving them a weight that self-reported statistics in the prop trading space often lack. The combination of a fast-growing global trader base, a consistent track record of payouts, and formal accreditation has helped KM Global Capital build a reputation as one of the most trusted names in funded trading.
“Crossing $20 million in payouts to more than 36,000 traders is proof that our model works, for traders and for the business,” a KM Global Capital spokesperson said. “We didn’t want to be another prop firm with an ‘Islamic account’ bolted on as an afterthought. We built the whole firm around doing it properly, and the results speak for themselves. Muslim traders have been asked to compromise for too long. Our answer is that they shouldn’t have to.”
Key Figures
- $20 million+ paid out to traders worldwide since launch
- 36,000+ traders funded globally
- 1 :1 spot trading on Islamic accounts, with no leverage-based riba exposure
0% riba, 0% swap fees, 0% overnight fees across all Islamic accounts, by default
- First of its kind: the UK’s first broker-backed, Sharia-compliant prop firm
Looking Ahead
KM Global Capital says this milestone marks the next chapter of its growth, not the end goal. The firm plans to expand its global footprint with new regional trading floors, bringing its accredited model directly to trading communities around the world. It also intends to broaden its range of funded account types to serve a wider variety of trading styles and experience levels, from newer traders seeking their first funded account to experienced professionals managing larger allocations.
Alongside that expansion, the firm is investing in the growth of its worldwide Islamic trading community, with education, events, and community initiatives designed to raise the standard of what halal trading looks like in practice. Throughout this growth, KM Global Capital says it remains committed to the formal accreditation, transparency, and broker-backed structure that have defined it since day one, rather than trading that credibility for faster growth.
