Exclusive: RoboMarkets Launches Labuan-Regulated RM Investment Bank
- The group set up regional headquarters in Malaysia in August 2019.
- It also launched a BaFin-regulated trading brand for professionals recently.

The new platform is regulated by the Labuan FSA and is being touted as an 'investment bank' with the name RM Investment Bank.
It can provide credit facilities, consultancy and advisory services, and several other banking-related services. Also, it can onboard Malay clients.
“Our company has started the RM Investment Bank, the first licensed investment bank in the RoboMarkets Group, and this makes us very happy,” said Dr Rostyslav Prus, the Managing Director at RM Investment Bank.
“This marks an important milestone in the Group's history, which will surely help us to expand our business in this jurisdiction. We are very proud of the variety of our services to clients and partners because they are equal in quality for anyone, regardless of investing experience and invested sums.”
Initially, the new platform is offering more than 10,000 investment instruments across seven asset classes. In addition, it is offering five account types with claimed 'competitive investment conditions'.
On top of that, the broker terminated trading services with crypto CFDs last year, calling them 'high risk' investment instruments. It has maintained that stance as the services under the new trading brand did not add any crypto instruments.

Foreign exchange or forex is the act of converting one nation’s currency into another nation’s currency (that possesses a different currency); for example, the converting of British Pounds into US Dollars, and vice versa. The exchange of currencies can be done over a physical counter, such as at a Bureau de Change, or over the internet via broker platforms, where currency speculation takes place, known as forex trading.The foreign exchange market, by its very nature, is the world’s largest trading market by volume. According to the Bank of International Settlements (BIS) latest survey, the Forex market now turns over in excess of $5 trillion every day, with the most exchanges occurring between the US Dollar and the Euro (EUR/USD), followed by the US Dollar and the Japanese Yen (USD/JPY), then the US Dollar and Pound Sterling (GBP/USD). Ultimately, it is the very exchanging between currencies which causes a country’s currency to fluctuate in value in relation to another currency – this is known as the exchange rate. With regards to freely floating currencies, this is determined by supply and demand, such as imports and exports, and currency traders, such as banks and hedge funds.

All one needs is a computer, an internet connection, and an account with a forex broker. Of course, before one starts to trade currencies, a certain level of knowledge and practice is essential.

The main two fields of trading are known as technical analysis and fundamental analysis. Technical analysis refers to using mathematical tools and certain patterns to help decide whether to buy or sell a currency pair, and fundamental analysis refers to gauging the national and international events which may potentially affect a country’s currency value.
