Risk & regulation notes
Pepperstone's multi-jurisdiction regulation is among the most documented of the brokers in this directory (ASIC, FCA, BaFin, CySEC, DFSA, SCB) — no negative regulator action was found in the sources checked. Independent verification is still needed, and remember that regulatory status does not remove the market risk of leveraged trading.
