From my research and experience as a trader, I can confirm that The Capital Group is indeed under regulatory oversight. Specifically, they are regulated in Taiwan, with their licensing coming from the Taipei Exchange (TPEx). The license covers futures contracts and leveraged foreign exchange trading, under the company name 群益期貨. This means the firm isn’t operating as an offshore or unregulated broker—rather, it’s subject to Taiwanese financial laws and regulatory standards. In my view, trading with a regulated broker like The Capital Group adds a foundational layer of security, as regulatory supervision theoretically enforces certain standards of business conduct, segregates client funds, and mandates transparency in operations. However, regulation is not an all-encompassing guarantee of flawless conduct. I noticed there have been past sanctions and some serious client warnings regarding withdrawal issues and potential account restrictions. These highlight that regulatory presence, while crucial, is not a substitute for hands-on vigilance and personal risk assessment as an investor. For me, dealing with a broker that’s subject to local regulatory authorities is an essential first filter before engaging with any trading platform or entrusting them with funds. Still, I always continue my due diligence, because regulatory oversight doesn’t eliminate all potential risks in this field.
