Purpose

Hong Kong, China's foreign exchange market is a mature and internationalized forex market that emerged in the 1970s. As an important global offshore financial hub, it relies on free capital flow policies and a well-established financial regulatory system, bringing together a large number of licensed forex and brokerage dealers, and is one of the core hubs for forex trading in the Asia-Pacific region. To help investors or practitioners gain a more comprehensive understanding of the actual operating conditions of forex dealers in the region, the field inspection team traveled to Hong Kong, China, for an on-site visit.

Process

In this issue, the on-site inspection team went to Hong Kong, China as planned to conduct an on-site visit to forex broker Phillip Securities Group, with public information showing its office address as 11-12/F, United Centre, 95 Queensway, Hong Kong(Admiralty Station(MTR) Exit D).

A professional and experienced on-site inspection team, with a sense of mission to strictly safeguard investors' interests, proceeded to Hong Kong, China, according to a well-thought-out plan. They conducted an on-site verification of the broker Phillip Securities Group, which claims to be located at 11-12/F, United Centre, 95 Queensway, Hong Kong (Admiralty Station (MTR) Exit D).

They arrived smoothly at United Centre. The location is in the core area of Admiralty, Hong Kong. It can be reached directly on foot from Exit D of MTR Admiralty Station. The surrounding environment is very bustling, close to many Grade A office buildings and financial institutions, with a particularly strong commercial atmosphere. From outside the building, a complete panoramic view of the building could be clearly photographed. The entire building has a brand-new and tidy appearance, and its facade design is grand and orderly, fully matching the positioning of a Grade A commercial building in a core business district.

Entering the ground-floor lobby of the building, they stated their purpose to the security guard or staff. After a simple information registration, entry permission was successfully obtained. After stepping into the lobby, looking up, one can see the full row of floor directory boards, which clearly indicate the corresponding floor information for Phillip Securities Group. The company's LOGO is placed in the interior area of the building, with no additional large-scale signage outside.

After arriving at the target floor, 11-12/F, the on-site inspectors found that there was an obvious brand sign at the entrance to the office area of Phillip Securities Group. The entire office area is used exclusively by the company, not a shared office. Due to the company's internal management requirements that no one may enter without an appointment, they were unable to step into the internal office area. This on-site inspection could clearly photograph the company's reception desk and the LOGO at the reception desk. The signage is clear and complete, fully consistent with the brand visuals officially presented to the public.

Through the glass door/reception area, due to internal access restrictions, it was not possible to view the entire office environment. Only the neat and orderly furnishings of the reception area could be seen. The overall environment fully matches the professional positioning claimed by a large licensed financial institution.

Therefore, after the on-site inspection, it is confirmed that the broker Phillip Securities Group truly exists at the above address.
