United Arab EmiratesBrokers on this page are regulated by the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA), a Tier 1 financial supervisor based in the Abu Dhabi Global Market in the United Arab Emirates. FSRA-authorised brokers must comply with stringent client protection measures, including fund segregation and enhanced operational standards. Retail traders face a maximum leverage cap of 30:1 on stocks, aligning with international risk management norms. FSRA’s status as a top-tier regulator in the region means broker activity is subject to active oversight and regular compliance reviews.
