Purpose

The Hong Kong, China foreign exchange market, which developed in the 1970s, is one of the world's important forex trading hubs, characterized by active trading, high market openness, and strict regulation. To help investors or practitioners gain a more comprehensive understanding of forex brokers in this region, an on-site inspection team conducted field visits in Hong Kong, China.

Process

The on-site inspection team visited the forex broker Alpha in Hong Kong, China as scheduled. According to public information, its office address is Room 10, 9th Floor, China Merchants Tower, Shun Tak Centre, 168 Connaught Road Central, Hong Kong.

A professional and experienced on-site inspection team, driven by a sense of mission to rigorously safeguard investors' interests, meticulously planned and visited the China Merchants Tower at 168 Connaught Road Central, Hong Kong, China, to conduct an on-site verification of the dealer Alpha claiming to operate at this address.

The inspection personnel successfully arrived at the China Merchants Tower of Shun Tak Centre, located in Hong Kong's bustling commercial district with a vibrant surrounding environment and strong business atmosphere. However, no signage or relevant information of Alpha company was found on the exterior of the building.

The surveyor entered the building lobby, explained their purpose to the security personnel, and after a brief communication, obtained permission to enter. On the directory inside the building, they found that the address corresponded to another company's information.

Upon arriving at the target floor (9th floor), the field investigator found no visible signage for Alpha company in the office area, only other companies, and no security measures were in place. Since no information related to the company was observed on-site, the investigator was unable to enter the premises. Additionally, they could not photograph the reception desk or its logo, and the office was not a shared workspace.

Through the glass door, it was impossible to enter the interior, and thus the internal environment of the company could not be observed. Overall, it is judged that the office address claimed by the company may be false.

Therefore, after on-site verification, it is confirmed that the dealer Alpha does not exist at the above address.

Conclusion

The on-site investigator visited the forex broker Alpha in Hong Kong, China as planned. The broker's company name and other information were not found at the publicly displayed business address, indicating that the broker does not have a genuine operational premises. Investors are advised to make their choices after comprehensive consideration.
