Purpose

The Hong Kong foreign exchange market in China developed into an international forex market after the 1970s. As one of the global financial centers, Hong Kong's forex market is highly active, well-regulated, and open. To help investors or practitioners gain a more comprehensive understanding of forex brokers in this region, an on-site inspection team conducted field visits in Hong Kong, China.

Process

The on-site inspection team visited the forex broker MASON GROUP in Hong Kong, China as planned. According to public information, its office address is Room 708, 7th Floor, Tower 1, New World Tower, 16-18 Queen's Road Central, Hong Kong.

A professional and experienced on-site inspection team, driven by a sense of mission to rigorously safeguard investors' interests, meticulously planned and proceeded to the target area on Queen's Road Central in Hong Kong, China. They conducted an on-site verification of the dealer MASON GROUP, which claimed to be located at Room 708, 7th Floor, Tower 1, New World Tower, 16-18 Queen's Road Central, Hong Kong.

The inspection personnel successfully arrived at Tower 1 of New World Building, located on Queen's Road, Central, Hong Kong, surrounded by a strong commercial atmosphere. However, the exterior of the building appears relatively aged, and no signage or relevant information of the company was found on the outside of the building.

The surveyor entered the building lobby, explained their purpose to the security personnel, and after communication, obtained permission to enter.

Upon arriving at the target floor (7th floor), the field investigator found no clear signage or security measures indicating the office area of MASON GROUP, nor any information related to MASON GROUP. Due to the lack of relevant details about the company, the investigator was unable to enter the premises, failed to capture images of the reception area or its logo, and confirmed that the floor was not a shared office space.

Through the floor passage, the on-site inspectors were unable to observe the internal environment of the company and other conditions, leading to an overall judgment that does not align with its claimed positioning.

Therefore, after on-site verification, it was confirmed that the dealer MASON GROUP does not exist at the above address.

Conclusion

The on-site investigator visited the forex broker MASON GROUP in Hong Kong, China as planned, but could not find any information such as the company name at the publicly displayed business address, indicating that the broker does not have a genuine business premises. Investors are advised to make their choices after comprehensive consideration.
