As an experienced trader, I approach any new broker with careful due diligence, focusing especially on transparency around trading costs. With Pictet, I found their offering is largely institutionally focused, built around wealth management, asset management, and professional servicing rather than the standard retail brokerage model that provides real-time cost breakdowns for index CFDs like the US100. In my own investigation, one of the main challenges is the absence of clear, public details regarding the full suite of trading fees such as spreads, commissions, overnight financing, or data access charges for index trading. This lack of published specifics means I cannot reliably quantify the total cost components that typically impact my bottom line day-to-day, especially compared to more retail-facing brokers. However, from a risk management standpoint, I do find reassurance in Pictet’s longstanding Swiss heritage and their regulation by the Hong Kong SFC, which signals operational oversight and some client protection. For me, the legitimacy and stability of the institution matter—but as a trader whose strategies often depend on granular fee data and transparent pricing, this lack of cost disclosure necessitates extra caution. For anyone considering index trading with Pictet, I would advise direct contact with their support team to obtain a customized breakdown of trading costs, and to ensure all charges for products like the US100 index are understood in advance. I believe responsible trading means never making cost assumptions, especially when fee clarity isn’t readily available.
