Advantages and disadvantages

Every Broker has its pros and cons, let's have a look at the ones that elevate & denounce EGM Securities.

To sum up the EGM Securities Review

EGM Securities Limited adheres to the regulatory guidelines of the CMA in Keyna. The broker's spreads for the executive account are quite high, they are, however, significantly lower for the premiere account (where a minimum deposit of $5 000 is required). The EGM Securities Kenya Minimum deposit is $200, which is pretty much the standard in the FX and CFD industry. The amount of available CFDs is not particularly attractive, especially when we look at the number of tradable stocks. Unfortunately, the broker features fixed leveraged, which is extremely high on major and minor currency pairs.
