Australian Investor (australianinvestor.net) has been flagged by ASIC (Australia) for "Unlicensed". This company appears in our regulatory warnings database. Always verify with official regulatory sources before investing or doing business with this firm. Website domain: australianinvestor.net.
Their execution during news is terrible. I had limit orders in place. When the news hit, my orders were not filled at the limit price - they were filled much worse. Australian Investor (australianinvestor.net) said it was market conditions. Same news, another broker filled me properly. They are not honest.
Pros: Fast support response|Tax reports included
Cons: Could offer more webinars
I requested my data from Australian Investor (australianinvestor.net) under GDPR. They sent a partial export that was missing months of transactions. When I asked for the rest they said it was a technical issue. Still waiting. They do not take data rights seriously.
Pros: Excellent charting|Dedicated account manager|Customizable dashboard|Educational resources
Cons: No phone support on weekends
I had a dispute with Australian Investor (australianinvestor.net) 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: Easy withdrawals|Great customer service|Economic calendar
Cons: Minor UI glitches occasionally
Do not be fooled by the professional-looking website. Behind the scenes, Australian Investor (australianinvestor.net) is disorganized and incompetent. I found them when my bank disappointed me and I searched for alternatives and I can only assume the positive reviews are either outdated or paid for because my experience was terrible.
Pros: Fast support response|Risk management tools
Cons: Wait times can be long during peak hours
I opened an account with Australian Investor (australianinvestor.net) for about five months ago. The platform frequently logs you out, orders fail to execute at the stated price, and when you complain they blame your internet connection. I have screenshots proving otherwise.
Pros: API access|Two-factor authentication|Tax reports included|Real-time alerts
Cons: Wait times can be long during peak hours|Charting tools need more indicators
The hidden fees at Australian Investor (australianinvestor.net) are the real scandal here. What they advertise and what they actually charge are two different things. By the time I realized how much I was paying in various fees and spreads, I had already lost a meaningful amount.
Pros: Good mobile app|Multi-device support|Great customer service|Demo account available
Cons: Some tools only available on higher tiers
After spending for about eight months trying to make Australian Investor (australianinvestor.net) work for me, I have given up. The platform has too many limitations, the fees are not competitive, and the quality of their market data is questionable. There are much better options available.
Pros: Smooth onboarding|Educational resources|Full transparency
Cons: Would like more payment methods|Spreads widen during volatile periods
What really bothers me about Australian Investor (australianinvestor.net) is the disconnect between their marketing and reality. They position themselves as a premium service but deliver a below-average experience. Found them based on a colleague's recommendation and I fell for the polished exterior. Never again.
Pros: Economic calendar|Dedicated account manager
Cons: Account statements could be more detailed|Wish they had more educational resources
After for about ten months with Australian Investor (australianinvestor.net) 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: Detailed reporting|Comprehensive tools|Easy withdrawals
Cons: Could offer more webinars
Australian Investor (australianinvestor.net) had an outage that lasted several hours during a major market event. Not only did they fail to prevent it, but they also failed to communicate what was happening. We were left in the dark while our investments were at risk.
Pros: Responsive team|Good analytical tools
Cons: Some tools only available on higher tiers|Live chat only during business hours
