Imperial Assets

I invested $1,000 with Imperial Assets after seeing their professional-looking website. At first, everything seemed fine - they showed me impressive returns on my dashboard. But when I tried to withdraw, they kept making excuses. First it was "processing time," then "verification needed," then "you need to pay a tax fee first." I never got my money back. I have since reported them to Financial Conduct Authority.

I found Imperial Assets through a podcast recommendation and the initial impression was positive. But for a few weeks now later, I have encountered so many issues that I cannot recommend them. Trades failing, charts not loading, and support tickets going unanswered for days at a time.

The platform at Imperial Assets is riddled with bugs. Charts display incorrect data, order confirmations sometimes fail silently, and the portfolio tracker disagrees with actual positions. After for a couple of months now of dealing with this, I have had enough.

The spread at Imperial Assets is not what they advertise. During volatile markets it widens so much that you lose before the trade even starts. I found them through a forum discussion and initially thought the platform was good - until I started trading seriously.

I was about to invest with Imperial Assets but decided to check their regulatory status first. They claim to be regulated but I could not find them on any official register. Financial Conduct Authority has actually issued a warning about this firm. Thank goodness I checked before sending any money.
