SFC fines Rakuten Securities HK$4m
SFC, 19-Oct-2016
Heads we win, tails you lose. The former FXCM Asia for 4 years until 2010 diddled clients by keeping favourable FX movments between the receipt and execution of orders, or what might be regarded as "worst execution". It is unclear why it took the SFC almost 6 years from the end of this behaviour to resolve this.
