Based on my careful review of KGI Asia, I found that the broker does not offer ECN or raw spread accounts. My experience as a trader has taught me that transparency in account types and fee structures is essential when evaluating any firm. With KGI Asia, trading is focused primarily on stocks, futures, and various wealth management products, not on forex trading through ECN or raw-spread models. For stock trading services, commissions are clearly stated: typically 0.25% per trade via web-based channels, with minimum fees applied. Short selling and buybacks have a higher commission, set at 0.5% per trade, along with additional regulatory levies and stamp duty. There isn't a commission-per-lot model that is common with forex brokers for ECN or raw spread accounts. This distinction matters because the cost structure at KGI Asia is based on transaction value and type, not on the lot size or spread markup. From a risk perspective, knowing exactly how one is being charged mitigates surprises. For me, detailed commission schedules enhance trust, but it’s important to confirm if a broker’s offerings even include the products or account types you’re seeking. At KGI Asia, if you are looking for a traditional forex ECN environment, you simply won’t find one, nor the associated commission-per-lot fees. Always align your broker choice with your preferred trading instruments and fee models.
