From my experience, the regulatory status of a broker is a fundamental aspect I assess before entrusting them with my capital. Channel Capital is regulated by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), which is noteworthy because ASIC sets relatively stringent standards for financial firms operating in Australia. For me, this means Channel Capital must comply with mandatory protocols around fund segregation, operational transparency, and routine audits. Such requirements reduce the risk of mismanagement or misuse of client funds, which is always a primary concern for any trader. However, while ASIC regulation introduces a measure of oversight and accountability, I noticed that Channel Capital’s business scope has been flagged as “suspicious,” and the potential risk is marked as “medium.” That prompts me to remain cautious, as regulation alone does not eliminate all forms of risk—especially if there are questions about business practices or transparency. Ultimately, I find comfort in knowing Channel Capital is under ASIC’s watch, but I always supplement regulatory assurance with my own due diligence to safeguard my funds and trading interests.
