Scope Markets is returning to China following its acquisition by Rostro Group. The foreign exchange (FX) and contracts for differences (CFDs) broker has also appointed a new managing partner to oversee operations in China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and the wider Asian region.

Scope exited China in 2021 due to regulatory challenges and the economic conditions that affected the demand for its services. However, with the decision to re-enter the market, the company expects to provide access to a range of trading instruments for its Chinese clients.

Michael Ayres, the CEO of Rostro Group, said in an email sent to Finance Magnates: "We had built a loyal following in the country, so look forward to rekindling many of those strong relationships, as well as working with new clients, too."

According to the company's statement, clients can trade on the MT4 or the MT5 platforms or on the Scope Market's web trading service and app.

Based in Belize and regulated by the International Financial Services Commission (IFSC), Scope Markets was acquired by Rostro Financial Group in January. The deal was completed in an all-cash transaction, bringing the retail broker under the control of Rostro.
