After examining RHB’s profile and disclosures, I find there’s limited transparency on specific leverage figures for major forex pairs, which is already a concern for me as a cautious trader. RHB’s primary focus appears to be futures and derivatives—especially indices and commodities, primarily through Bursa Malaysia and certain foreign contracts like the E-mini S&P 500. Unlike many mainstream forex brokers, I didn’t see detailed or easily accessible information about margin requirements or maximum leverage for forex pairs during my research. This lack of clarity makes it difficult for me to evaluate the risk parameters, which is something I prioritize before opening an account. In my experience, responsible brokers clearly publish leverage tiers for each asset class, such as lower leverage for volatile commodities and possibly higher (but still capped) ratios for major forex pairs. Without explicit data, I cannot assume RHB offers competitive leverage or that they cater to margin traders in the way dedicated forex brokers do. Compounding my caution, RHB’s revoked SFC license in Hong Kong signals unresolved regulatory issues. For me, trading with a broker whose licensing has been revoked dramatically increases my risk, especially regarding client fund safety and dispute resolution. Overall, without detailed leverage disclosures and given RHB’s regulatory challenges, I would tread very carefully and seek out more transparent and regulated alternatives if I wanted clear leverage policies across different markets.
