New SFC Licenses
In obtaining the latest licenses, the Denmark-headquartered broker can expand its footprint in the wealth and asset management space.

They are looking for an easy-to-use platform that can provide tailor-made solutions based on their financial situations, and can handle their needs through one single account with top-level professional assistance.”

The company entered the region in 2011 and has since been operating with Type 1, 2 and 13 licenses from the Securities and Futures Commission. The latest regulatory agreement is a reassuring sign that the broker has established itself as a reputable financial services provider in the area.
Saxo Markets Hong Kong CEO, Richard Douglas, added: “The licenses give us greater room to now provide more comprehensive services to clients, whether they want to trade global capital markets or invest into their future.
