ASIC imposes strict standards on authorised brokers, including mandatory segregation of client funds and ongoing capital requirements. Retail traders under ASIC regulation are subject to a leverage cap of 30:1 on major currency pairs. ASIC is known for rigorous oversight and active enforcement, giving traders a high degree of regulatory protection compared to many offshore jurisdictions.
