Broker Regulations: Expert Insights from CMS Prime's Chief Legal Counsel

From A Legal Perspective

DUBAI, UAE, March 11, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- One of the largest and most vibrant and at times volatile markets in the world and the UAE in particular is the capital and foreign currency trade market. Aside from large institutional traders that typically pool assets and invest vicariously, there are individuals who in fact make a sizable portion of the trades within this established market. While investors are increasingly becoming risk averse and are particularly conscious of the nuances of the market, given its size and global reach as well as the very speculative nature of trading, there are inherent risks, in particular the risk of falling victim to fraud. It is here where industry regulation and the market reputation and standing of a firm becomes important for the investor to consider before engaging in trades. The regulatory regime governing brokers play a pivotal role in ensuring risk aversion. The United Arab Emirates has been a leading regional jurisdiction where the authorities have been very keen to ensure that there are various belts and braces by way of regulatory oversight and robust legal framework, working together to mitigate investor’ risks.

The United Arab Emirates and its regulatory bodies have been instrumental in creating a secure and transparent environment for traders and investors through a comprehensive set of rules which financial firms must comply with. Here are a few aspects where firms such as CMS Prime, a leading multi- asset broker offering unapparelled trading conditions that has over time exceeded the investor’s expectations for the past 20 years can offer is ensuring that the investor, regardless of the level of experience and market exposure can feel confident in engaging in trades.

The importance of ensuring that a particular broker is duly compliant and risk managed cannot be under-stated. To that end there are rather facile means of ascertaining whether a broker is indeed regulated by cross referencing with the relevant authority. Unfortunately, there are a number of on-line website and platforms that purport to provide reviews and regulatory status updates on brokers, but in fact either fabricate the true status of the broker or simply mis-lead by providing false, incomplete or at worst, derogatory reviews not premised on facts. These websites are designed to offer “paid solutions” to the broker for rectifying their inaccuracies by asking for exorbitant fees. A practice that amounts to extorsion.

However, for the unwary investor looking to seek a review or a market assessment of a particular broker, these fraudulent sites simply work to misdirect and disinform. Therefore, it is always prudent to check the regulatory status of a firm with the governing authority and in the case of CMS Prime, to simply reach out directly to the firm and ask for sufficient disclosures in order to satisfy yourself that you are indeed engaging with a firm that not only stands as a pioneer in the multi asset brokers’ market, but also can provide the wary investor with the requisite assurances that they will act transparently, ethically and commercially responsible and fully compliant.

Below, are some of the key benefits of dealing with a licensed and regulated broker such as CMS Prime.
