CFDs and leveraged forex are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. Most retail accounts lose money when trading CFDs. Consider whether you understand how these products work and whether you can afford the high risk of losing your money.

Securities and Futures Commission (Hong Kong)

Tier 1
Jurisdiction
Hong Kong
Public register
Open the official register

The Securities and Futures Commission regulates Hong Kong’s securities and futures markets. Leveraged foreign exchange trading for Hong Kong clients requires a specific licence type.

What it means for a retail trader

The SFC publishes a public register of licensed persons and a separate list of suspicious and unlicensed platforms. Check both before dealing with a firm that says it is based in Hong Kong.

How to check a firm

Search the firm’s legal name or licence number on the official register linked above. Confirm that the name, the number and the website on the register match the firm you are dealing with, and that its permissions cover the product you want to trade. Clone firms often borrow a real firm’s name and number but use a different web address.
