The FMA is warning about a series of fake online trading platforms.

Future Investment advertises low fees but once you dig into the fine print, there are numerous charges that add up quickly. Inactivity fees, withdrawal fees, currency conversion fees - it all eats into your returns. I wish I had read the terms more carefully.
Pros: Tax reports included|Competitive fees|Great customer service
Cons: Limited cryptocurrency options|Some tools only available on higher tiers
I gave Future Investment a fair chance. After for a few weeks now of usage, I can say with confidence that there are far better options available. The interface is clunky, the fees are higher than competitors, and the customer support team seems overwhelmed or understaffed.
Pros: Multi-device support|Clear documentation|Fast deposits|Customizable dashboard
Cons: Inactivity fee applies after 12 months
What really bothers me about Future Investment is the disconnect between their marketing and reality. They position themselves as a premium service but deliver a below-average experience. Found them after a friend recommended them and I fell for the polished exterior. Never again.
Pros: Instant funding|Demo account available
Cons: Limited cryptocurrency options
The only good thing about Future Investment is that they remind you why regulation matters. I found them after attending a webinar they hosted. They are regulated in a jurisdiction with weak consumer protection. When things went wrong I had nowhere to turn. Stick to well-regulated brokers.
Pros: Great customer service|Reliable uptime|Good mobile app
Cons: Minor UI glitches occasionally|Nothing significant
The hidden fees at Future Investment 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: API access|Great customer service|Responsive team
Cons: Limited demo account features|Desktop app not available on Linux
The onboarding at Future Investment was smooth which makes the subsequent experience even more frustrating. Once they have your money, the quality of service drops dramatically. Getting anyone to help you with an actual problem is nearly impossible.
Pros: Full transparency|Low minimum deposit|Dedicated account manager
Cons: Would like more payment methods
I was contacted by Future Investment through social media. They promised guaranteed returns of 20-30% monthly. Being naive, I invested. The "account manager" pressured me to invest more and more. When I finally tried to take profit, my account was frozen and they stopped responding. Classic Ponzi/advance fee fraud.
Pros: Professional looking website
Cons: Withdrawal fees demanded|Communication cut off|Not authorized
Do not use Future Investment for anything serious. I used them for the past six months for small trades and it was okay. When I deposited a larger amount and traded more, my account was flagged, my withdrawals were delayed, and I was asked to explain my trading. They treat active traders like criminals.
Pros: Wide product range|Excellent charting|Easy withdrawals|Fast support response
Cons: Limited cryptocurrency options|Wait times can be long during peak hours
Future Investment locked my account without warning and demanded documents I had already submitted. since the beginning of the year later I still do not have access to my funds. Their compliance team does not respond to emails. I am considering legal action.
Pros: Easy withdrawals|Good analytical tools|Customizable dashboard|Two-factor authentication
Cons: Could offer more webinars
My card was charged twice by Future Investment on the same day. I had to dispute it with my bank. Future Investment then froze my account and said I had a negative balance because of the chargeback. They created the problem and then punished me for it.
Pros: Great customer service|Real-time alerts
Cons: Search feature is basic|Cannot customize dashboard fully
