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.
I had a dispute with Asset-trade Investment and went to their complaints process. They have an internal team that just defends the company. Then they said I could go to an ombudsman - but the ombudsman they use is industry-funded and rarely rules for the client. The system is rigged.
Pros: Full transparency|Social trading features|Professional team|Multi-device support
Cons: Email notifications too frequent
Asset-trade Investment offers copy trading. I copied a top trader. The copy trades often executed at worse prices than the original. When I asked why they said it was due to latency and liquidity. So the feature is broken or they are skimming. Either way I stopped using it.
Pros: Excellent charting|Economic calendar|Risk management tools|Multiple order types
Cons: Onboarding videos are outdated|Withdrawal takes 1-2 business days
I experienced a security concern with my Asset-trade Investment account and reported it immediately. Their response time was inexcusable for a financial platform. It took them four days to acknowledge my report and another week to actually address it.
Pros: Transparent fees|Demo account available|Clear documentation
Cons: Mobile app could be improved|Minor UI glitches occasionally
Tried to withdraw my funds from Asset-trade Investment and was told I needed to pay a "withdrawal tax" of 20%. This is a red flag. No legitimate broker charges withdrawal taxes. When I refused, they became aggressive and eventually stopped all communication. My entire investment is gone.
Pros: Initially responsive customer service
Cons: Blocked my account|No legitimate license|Fake returns
I wanted to transfer my portfolio from another broker to Asset-trade Investment. They said they do not accept in-kind transfers for my asset type. I had to sell, withdraw, deposit, and rebuy - incurring taxes and spread costs. They did not tell me this before I signed up.
Pros: Instant funding|Excellent charting|Reliable uptime|Smooth onboarding
Cons: Would like more payment methods
