Reason for this visit

The Hong Kong forex market is an international market developed after the 1970s. Since the removal of foreign exchange control in Hong Kong in 1973, there has been a large inflow of international capital and the number of financial institutions operating foreign exchange business has continued to increase. The foreign exchange market has become more and more active, and it has developed into an international forex market. The Hong Kong forex market is an invisible market with no fixed trading venue. Traders conduct foreign exchange transactions through various modern communication facilities and computer networks. Hong Kong's geographical location and time zone conditions are similar to those of Singapore, making it very convenient to trade with other international foreign exchange markets. Participants in the Hong Kong forex market are mainly commercial banks and financial companies. There are three types of forex brokers in this market: local brokers, whose business is limited to Hong Kong; international brokers, who expanded their business to the Hong Kong foreign exchange market after the 1970s; international brokers that developed in Hong Kong, whose business has expanded to foreign exchange markets abroad. In order to help investors or practitioners have a more comprehensive understanding of forex dealers in Hong Kong, the survey team is going there to conduct on-site visits.

On-site visit

This time the survey team visited the forex dealer Million in Hong Kong, China, with the specific address at Room 2, LG2/F, KAI WONG COMMERCIAL BUILDING, 222 Queen's Road Central, Hong Kong. 

Based on the above address, the survey team came to the destination of this survey. Million's office is located in Sheung Wan, Hong Kong, a long-developed business district, which is accessible by MTR and various public transportation. The surrounding environment is clean and well-traveled. There are also stores, restaurants, banks and department malls for all kinds of businesses. The destination is an old office building with low floors and old facilities, but a cleaner internal environment. The surveyors did not find the name of Million on the directory, so they enter the building for a further visit.

Arriving at the ground floor, the surveyors found that Room 2 did not belong to the dealer Million, but to the office of Philip Leung & Co. Thus, they confirmed that the dealer did not have an office there. And it is worth noting that the address is repeatedly registered by several forex dealers.

Conclusion

The survey team went to Hong Kong, China to visit the dealer Million as planned, and found no office at its regulatory address. It was supposed that the dealer might just use that address to register its company, or there was no offline exhibition place. Please be prudent when trading with this broker.
