'Best Client Fund Security' Award Goes to HotForex, an FX Broker Traders Can Rely on in Turbulent Times

PORT LOUIS, Mauritius, January 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

HotForex wins the important title 'Best Client Fund Security', a title which has been proven to be richly deserved during recent, unexpected market volatility caused by the decision of the SNB to reverse the CHF cap, which has irrevocably thrust the issue of client fund security under the global spotlight. 

HotForex's unwavering commitment to ensuring the security of client funds has led to recognition by the Global Financial Market Review (GFM), a leading online financial news aggregator that has honoured HotForex with the prestigious 'Best Client Fund Security 2014' award.

A spokesperson for HotForex stated, "At HotForex, we realize that our clients want the peace of mind that they are entrusting their funds to a reliable broker and we are honoured that our efforts to provide a secure trading environment have been recognized by the Global Financial Market Review. By operating in accordance with regulatory requirements and putting in place advanced risk management processes, we are able to take unexpected market events and the resulting turbulence in our stride; this ensures a robust, dependable trading service and high level of security for our clients."
