Asset-trade Investment has been flagged by Financial Markets Authority for "Unregistered/Unlicensed entity offering financial products or services|Fraud ...". This company appears in our regulatory warnings database. Always verify with official regulatory sources before investing or doing business with this firm.
After for nearly two years with Asset-trade Investment I requested to close my account and withdraw. They said I had to complete a 30-day cooling-off period. Then they said there was a minimum holding period for my last deposit. They make it as hard as possible to leave.
Pros: Quick verification|Demo account available
Cons: Slow to add new assets
Asset-trade Investment changed their fee structure with one month notice. What was a flat fee became a percentage. For my account size it meant a huge increase. When I objected they said I could leave. So I am leaving and writing this review.
Pros: No hidden fees|Risk management tools|Economic calendar
Cons: Live chat only during business hours
The platform at Asset-trade Investment is riddled with bugs. Charts display incorrect data, order confirmations sometimes fail silently, and the portfolio tracker disagrees with actual positions. After since I retired last year of dealing with this, I have had enough.
Pros: Wide product range|Helpful community forum
Cons: Desktop app not available on Linux|Inactivity fee applies after 12 months
I was about to invest with Asset-trade Investment but decided to check their regulatory status first. They claim to be regulated but I could not find them on any official register. Financial Markets Authority has actually issued a warning about this firm. Thank goodness I checked before sending any money.
Cons: Not registered with regulators|Unrealistic promises
The spread at Asset-trade Investment is not what they advertise. During volatile markets it widens so much that you lose before the trade even starts. I found them through word of mouth in my investment club and initially thought the platform was good - until I started trading seriously.
Pros: Market news feed|Comprehensive tools|Dedicated account manager|Responsive team
Cons: Currency conversion fee exists|None so far
I trusted Asset-trade Investment with a significant portion of my savings and I deeply regret that decision. Not because of market losses, but because of how poorly the platform performed and how dismissively the support team treated my concerns.
Pros: Good analytical tools|Automated trading options
Cons: No crypto staking|Limited social trading features
Do not believe the bonus offer from Asset-trade Investment. The turnover requirement is designed so you can never withdraw. I learned the hard way. I deposited after comparing multiple platforms and the bonus terms were buried in pages of small print. My fault for not reading but their design is predatory.
Pros: Wide product range|Good analytical tools|Multi-currency support|Comprehensive tools
Cons: Nothing significant
I referred a friend to Asset-trade Investment after attending a webinar they hosted. We both deposited. The referral bonus never arrived. Support said we did not meet the terms. When we asked which terms they pointed to a clause that was added after we signed up. Shady.
Pros: Professional team|Quick verification
Cons: Limited cryptocurrency options
Asset-trade Investment has the worst mobile app I have ever used for investing. It crashes constantly, features that work on desktop are missing entirely, and the security implementation is questionable at best. How they released this app is beyond me.
Pros: Great customer service|Portfolio tracking tools|No hidden fees
Cons: Account statements could be more detailed
The reporting at Asset-trade Investment is laughably bad. Tax documents are inaccurate, transaction histories have gaps, and trying to export data for your accountant is a nightmare. For a financial platform, getting the numbers right should be the bare minimum.
Pros: Copy trading available|Customizable dashboard
Cons: Minor UI glitches occasionally
