Rewards for early-bird registrations, training seminars, no commissions
Hong Kong, September 30, 2019 – Rakuten Securities Bullion Hong Kong Limited (“Rakuten Securities Bullion”), a wholly owned subsidiary of leading online brokerage company Rakuten Securities, Inc., headquartered in Tokyo, today announced the launch of a new website for bullion trading as part of a broader gold and silver investment service designed for both institutional and retail investors looking for risk diversification.
To coincide with the launch of the website https://bullion.rakuten.com.hk/ in Hong Kong, Rakuten Securities Bullion is offering a reward for early-bird registrations. Those who register on the site on or before October 13, 2019 will receive a reward worth HK$7001. In addition, free seminars will be available to provide guidance to investors wanting to learn more about bullion trading and will include topics such as technical analysis, chart trading strategies and the latest market insights.
Besides the training tools and market resources, Rakuten Securities Bullion also runs its service on the MetaTrader platform (commonly abbreviated to MT4), a popular piece of software for trading forex and metals. Clients can trade Spot Gold and Silver with MetaTrader 4 in Rakuten MT4 trading account. It provides fixed spreads that are tight and therefore competitive2 with generous leverage opportunities that extend to 200:13, creating chances for portfolio diversification. As well, no commission is charged, thereby minimizing trading costs while maximizing returns. The trading account will be available starting from October 14, 2019.
“We’re experiencing global instability and market volatility on a scale not seen for generations, so now is a good time to consider trading gold or silver as an investment asset,” said Mr. Kazunori Iida, President of Rakuten Securities Bullion. “Gold enjoys high liquidity and has universal value which makes it a good safe haven asset. Unlike currency, it keeps its value over long periods of time. It’s suitable and useful to hedge against risks.”
The website launch follows the establishing of Rakuten Securities Bullion earlier this year in Hong Kong. The company is a subsidiary of Rakuten Securities Inc, one of Japan’s major online brokers.
“Our Rakuten MT4 trading account is very powerful. It enables automated trading and higher leverage,” said Mr. Kazunori Iida. “That’s attractive, but there’s more: we offer fixed tight spreads and we don’t charge a commission.”
In terms of retail equities trading value in Japan, Rakuten Securities is the second largest online securities company in Japan4. It established Rakuten Securities Hong Kong Limited (“Rakuten Securities Hong Kong” CE Number: AIM232) in 2015, its first overseas subsidiary. This in turn launched Rakuten Securities Bullion on February 28, 2019 to help further build solid presence in Hong Kong.
