Sahm Capital review

The minimum deposit is $0, so there is no funding floor to clear before you can start. It ranks first of 213 brands on this measure and sits under the site median of €4.64. You can then fund the account in amounts you choose.

A stock trade costs $0.49, charged as a flat amount per trade rather than a share of the order. The site median for stock trade fees is €0, so a flat per trade charge sits above the middle of the market. Frequent traders should weigh that difference carefully.

An options contract costs $0.49, the same figure charged on a stock trade. Options appear in the markets list of stocks, etfs and options, so contracts trade alongside shares and ETFs. For readers comparing options brokers, 33.7% shows how many brands in that group offer options at all.

The markets list is stocks, etfs and options, covering shares, ETFs and options. Options are a thinner part of the market: 31.1% of the brands compared offer them. Forex, CFDs and crypto are outside the list here, so traders in those markets need a different broker.

Sahm Capital is regulated by the Capital Market Authority in Saudi Arabia, and the licence is listed as 22251-25. The legal entity behind the brand is Sahm Capital Financial Company. Investors outside Saudi Arabia should check local rules before funding an account.

Yes, margin is offered at a rate of 7%. Borrowing magnifies gains and losses, so a margin position can lose more than the cash put in. Across the brands compared here, retail accounts that lose money account for 70.15%.

Accounts run on Web, Tablet and Mobile, so the same account is reachable from a browser, a tablet or a phone. A mobile app is listed among the features offered, and mobile apps are near standard across the brands compared, at 92.8%.

It suits Saudi Arabian investors who want to trade shares, ETFs or options with a flat charge and no minimum deposit. The minimum deposit of $0 makes it a practical starting point for a small account. Traders seeking forex, CFDs or commission-free execution should look elsewhere.
