RAKUTEN SECURITIES BULLION TRADING STARTS IN HONG KONG

More leverage, tighter fixed spreads compare favorably with local competition

Hong Kong, October 14, 2019 – Bullion trading started at 10am today through Rakuten MetaTrader 4 (MT4) account of Rakuten Securities Bullion Hong Kong Limited (“Rakuten Securities Bullion”), a wholly owned subsidiary of leading online brokerage company Rakuten Securities, Inc., presenting both institutional and retail investors with a new vehicle for greater risk diversification by facilitating investment in gold and silver, the company announced Monday.

To coincide with the trading platform going live, the company also announced a welcome offer for bullion trading through its website https://bullion.rakuten.com.hk/. From now until April 30, 2020, those who register on the site will receive a reward worth HK$500¹. The Rakuten Securities Bullion service is available on desktop and mobile platforms of MT4, the world’s most popular software for trading forex and metals.

“We’re very pleased to offer Hong Kong investors the opportunity to readily and securely diversify into bullion, historically one of the best asset classes to preserve value, if not grow it,” said Mr. Kazunori Iida, President of Rakuten Securities Bullion. “Investors using the site will benefit from highly competitive spreads² that are both tight and fixed. That’s in a local market where floating spreads are commonplace.” Rakuten Securities Bullion’s spreads for gold and silver are typically US$0.35 and US$ 0.035 respectively.

Mr. Iida added that with the competitive fixed spreads, Rakuten Securities Bullion offers generous leverage of up to 200:1. “That’s very competitive too, given that many of the major local brokers provide leverage ranging from 100:1 to 150:1,” he said. “And for that we don’t charge a fee. There’s no commission to pay. It means trading costs are minimized.”

Rakuten Securities Bullion is part of the Tokyo-based Rakuten Group, one of the world’s largest internet companies. It was established in Hong Kong on 28 February this year by Rakuten Securities, Inc., one of Japan’s largest online brokers. This brings added security to clients and investors.

The risk of loss in OTC gold/silver bullion trading can be substantial. You may not be suitable as you may sustain losses in excess of your initial margin funds. Leverage can work against you. Placing contingent orders, such as “stop-loss” or “stop-limit” orders, will not necessarily limit losses to the intended amounts. Market conditions may make it impossible to execute such orders. If the equity of an account falls below the liquidation level, your position may be liquidated. You may need to deposit additional margin funds. You will remain liable for any resulting deficit in your account. You should therefore carefully consider whether such trading is suitable in light of your own financial position and investment objectives. Do not speculate with capital that you cannot afford to lose. If you decide to trade products offered by Rakuten Securities Bullion, you must read and understand the information and disclosure provided by Rakuten Securities Bullion.
