In my experience as a trader, understanding a broker’s regulatory status is an essential step before entrusting them with funds. With BOOM, what stands out is that it is actually regulated. BOOM, officially known as Boom Securities (H.K.) Limited, is authorized by the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) of Hong Kong. The SFC is considered a reputable authority in Asia, well-known for maintaining strict oversight over financial institutions and enforcing compliance with rigorous standards. According to publicly available information, BOOM holds a license with the SFC specifically for dealing in futures contracts (license number: AEF808). For me, seeing a license from a recognized regulator like the SFC alleviates some concerns. Such oversight generally means there are established protocols for client fund segregation and periodic audits, which I consider important factors for safety. However, I would still remain cautious due to some notes of “high potential risk” and user-reported concerns, and I always advocate for direct verification with the SFC’s official site before making any commitments. Overall, BOOM’s regulated status with the SFC suggests it operates under established Hong Kong financial laws, but I believe a prudent trader should carry out additional due diligence whenever choosing a broker.
