moomoo scores 79/100 (Strong) — CIRO Investment Dealer and CIPF member with full Canadian regulatory coverage. Primary strengths are D2 Investor Protection (CIPF CAD $1M per account category, mandatory membership) and D3 Segregation and Custody (8.3/10): client assets are held at CDS, Canada's Tier-1 CSD, through Canaccord Genuity Corp. as named carrying broker — an established, CIRO-regulated Investment Dealer with direct CDS participant status. Largest drags are D4 Financial Strength (6.5/10) — moomoo Canada is a young entity (CIRO membership granted 2023, formerly OTT Financial Canada Inc.; Form 1 capital ratios not publicly disclosed for the Canadian subsidiary; Futu Holdings parent is NASDAQ-listed and profitable but is a foreign FinTech, not a bank group) — and D6 Transparency and Conduct (6.4/10) — order-routing details at the carrying-broker level are not independently published. L3 disclosed: two stress signals, both disclosure-only. First, moomoo Canada is a new CIRO entity with a short Canadian regulatory track record. Second, US sibling Moomoo Financial Inc. (FINRA CRD #298085) carries enforcement history in the trailing five-year window, attributed at group level per TVSM-BR §3.6; the Canadian entity itself has no CIRO enforcement actions.
cost-conscious Canadian investors who want $0 ETF commissions and a modern mobile-first platform; investors comfortable with a young CIRO entity (2023) backed by NASDAQ-listed Futu Holdings and Canaccord Genuity Corp. as named custodial carrier
large-account holders who require Big Six bank backing or independently published order-routing disclosure; investors for whom a 2-year-old CIRO entity or Hong Kong-headquartered parent group raises risk or compliance concerns
