The brokers listed here have been reviewed for Maltese investors seeking access to stocks and ETFs, with a focus on regulation, fees, platform features, and available markets. Retail brokers in Malta are overseen by the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA), a tier 2 regulator that enforces MiFID II rules, including mandatory client fund segregation, negative balance protection, and a leverage cap of 30:1 on margin products. Investors are covered by an EU-wide compensation scheme, which protects eligible funds up to 20,000 EUR per firm in the event of broker insolvency. While some Maltese investors may prefer international brokers that passport their EU licences, all firms must comply with MFSA standards to serve local clients.
