Based on my experience and a careful review of Pictet’s available public information, I must note that Pictet’s core offerings differ significantly from many standard retail forex brokers. Pictet, with a history reaching back to 1805, operates primarily in the domains of wealth management, asset management, alternative investments, and asset servicing—rather than focusing on margin forex trading for individual traders. Their licensing in Hong Kong specifically refers to “dealing in futures contracts,” which typically pertains to institutional products rather than retail FX. From what I’ve gathered, there is no explicit mention of maximum leverage for forex pairs provided by Pictet. This lack of disclosure is important; as a cautious trader, I see it as a sign to avoid making any assumptions about high leverage availability, especially for major currency pairs. In my experience, reputable firms with institutional or high-net-worth clients often tailor leverage according to the profile, regulations, and risk appetite of each client, and are not known for the ultra-high leverage sometimes found at retail brokers. For other asset classes such as futures or alternative investments, the leverage—if provided at all—tends to be conservative and is granted in line with regulatory requirements. The absence of clear, published leverage information suggests that anyone considering Pictet for leveraged trading should approach with measured expectations and seek direct clarification from their representatives. Ultimately, I view this cautious approach as aligned with my own risk management standards.
