Abstract:A good broker follows the rules, protects your money, and treats you fairly. But what happens when a broker doesn’t play by the rules? That’s the concern now surrounding a trading platform called SaracenMarkets.
Choosing the right broker is one of the most important decisions you can make as a trader or investor. A good broker follows the rules, protects your money, and treats you fairly. But what happens when a broker doesn‘t play by the rules? That’s the concern now surrounding a trading platform called SaracenMarkets.
The Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) has added SaracenMarkets to its Investor Alert List. This is a list of companies that are not allowed to operate in Malaysia. The SC is the country‘s main financial watchdog. It makes the rules for the capital markets, checks that businesses follow them, and takes action when they don’t.
The SC warns investors to avoid companies on the Alert List. If you trade with an unlicensed broker, you could lose your money with no way to get it back.
SaracenMarkets is also raising questions in other countries. In South Africa, it has a licence from the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA). But its been reported that the company is doing business outside what the licence allows.
When you trade or invest, you are trusting someone else with your money. Thats why you need a broker that is fully licensed and supervised by a strong financial authority. Regulated brokers must:
● Keep client money in separate accounts
● Report their activities regularly
● Follow strict rules to protect customers
If something goes wrong with a regulated broker, there are steps you can take. With an unregulated broker, there may be no help available.
The rise of online trading has made it easier than ever to start investing. But it‘s also made it easier for risky or dishonest companies to reach people. That’s why it‘s so important to check a broker’s background before you send them any money.
The SC and other regulators often post lists of companies you should avoid. These lists are there to protect you. Always look up a broker on these lists and the websites of regulators before opening an account.
