As someone who spends considerable time evaluating brokers for my trading needs, I've taken a close look at KGI Asia's offerings. Based on my thorough review, KGI Asia does not provide access to major forex pairs, and therefore, leverage for forex trading simply isn’t available through this broker. This is an important distinction for anyone primarily seeking leveraged FX exposure, as KGI Asia’s product range is focused on equities, bonds, futures, options, and structured wealth products rather than forex and CFDs. For the other asset classes they offer—such as stocks, futures, and options—the available information from my research doesn’t specify exact leverage ratios. In my experience, this lack of transparency on margin requirements and maximum leverage can be a concern, particularly if you rely on leverage as part of your trading strategy. However, since KGI Asia is licensed by the SFC in Hong Kong, clients are generally afforded a degree of regulatory oversight, and margin policies for futures or options would be set according to local regulatory guidelines, which usually tend to be more conservative than brokers focused on high-leverage CFD/forex trading. Ultimately, if your trading goals require leveraged forex trading, KGI Asia is not a suitable option. Their strength lies more in providing access to regulated regional equity and derivatives markets, and their leverage terms—where disclosed—are likely to reflect the relatively strict standards of Hong Kong's financial authorities. For me, the absence of forex leverage is a deciding factor when weighing KGI Asia against brokers that specialize in FX.
