A leading international brokerage firm based in New Zealand will take part in the 3rd Middle East Forex Expo in Bahrain, next month.

WSD Financial (NZ) Ltd, which specialises in foreign exchange, precious metals, futures, options, and CFDs, will be one of key exhibitors at the expo to be held on April 23 and 24.

“This event is a perfect platform to showcase WSD’s products and to offer the local market an alternative brokerage where client fund safety is paramount and is also backed by New Zealand’s strong client fund segregation laws,” said Dean Crowle, CEO.

WSD Financial (NZ) Ltd, a premier investment house headquartered in Auckland, caters to retail investors across various countries.

“Today, more than anything clients need personal attention without preferences of whether the client is high net worth or just investing his savings for a better tomorrow. WSD Financial understands this very well, and provides each client with personalised attention and customised solutions. Being a ‘retail investment house’, WSD is able to provide a varied range of services and personalised service to its clients using global standard procedures and a 24/7 help desk,” said Savas Macun, director, Middle East region.

“WSD overtime has reinvented itself as a client-oriented service provider. With flexibility and dedicated account managers, WSD has been able to expand its services in various regions. It is not only personalised service that is important, but the technology and ease of use like unrivalled trading tools and state-of-the-art trading software which have given WSD’s clients a winning edge,” he said.

“WSD is the clear choice for the beginner or experienced individual investor, introducing broker, CTA, institutional investor, fund manager or a corporate institution looking to safely and securely invest, hedge or speculate in foreign exchange, precious metals, futures, options, CFDs and virtually every other financial instrument,” said Macun.

Client safety has always been a primary concern for investors. New Zealand has a strong regulatory framework that offers investors the peace of mind that their investment assets are well protected in segregated accounts with regulated, licensed companies like WSD, said a company spokesman.

New Zealand’s Futures Industry strictly enforces “Segregation” regulations where client funds and investments are deposited in segregated bank accounts, often in prime banks. This ensures that client assets are never co-mingled. Further asset protection is enforced in New Zealand by requiring regulated, licensed companies like WSD to provide professional indemnity insurance coverage for the protection of client and company assets against unforeseeable events that if left uninsured, may result in the loss of client funds. Under this system, clients are secured to the extent that WSD is regulated under NZ and licensed under both NZ and US laws, he said.

WSD owns WSD USA which is a registered Futures Commission Merchant (FCM) with the CFTC and a good standing member of National Futures Association (NFA). “The professional indemnity insurance policy is an added layer of protection for client assets and is another important reason why New Zealand favours investors and investors favour WSD,” the spokesman said.

Personalised Services: WSD’s team of account managers is well respected and experienced in the industry, he said. “Senior dealers offer clients unparalleled trading expertise and service that is unquestionably second to none,” said the spokesman.

“Multi-lingual customer service technicians are trained to enhance your trading experience, offering a wide array of hands-on assistance via on-line chat or over the telephone.”
