lakeside-fininvest.com has been flagged by Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority for "Other". This company appears in our regulatory warnings database. Always verify with official regulatory sources before investing or doing business with this firm.
I lost a significant amount because lakeside-fininvest.com did not execute my stop loss during a flash crash. They said the market was illiquid. Other brokers managed to execute. I have no proof they did not trade against me. Avoid.
Pros: Regular updates|Multiple order types|Professional team
Cons: Currency conversion fee exists|Cannot customize dashboard fully
Tried to withdraw my funds from lakeside-fininvest.com 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: Professional looking website
Cons: Withdrawal fees demanded|Communication cut off|Not authorized
Do not use lakeside-fininvest.com for anything serious. I used them since I opened my account last year 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: Regular updates|Tax reports included
Cons: No fractional shares
lakeside-fininvest.com 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: Fast deposits|Market news feed|Educational resources|Demo account available
Cons: Currency conversion fee exists|Slow to add new assets
The spread at lakeside-fininvest.com is not what they advertise. During volatile markets it widens so much that you lose before the trade even starts. I found them based on a colleague's recommendation and initially thought the platform was good - until I started trading seriously.
Pros: Great customer service|Regular updates|Customizable dashboard|Full transparency
Cons: Could offer more webinars|Research section could be deeper

Pros: Information is publicly available for verification
Cons: Listed in IOSCO I-SCAN|May not be authorized in your jurisdiction
I am in a dispute with lakeside-fininvest.com over a trade that was clearly erroneous. The price shown was wrong, I closed at a profit, and they reversed the trade and took the money back. They said it was a system error. So I lose and they keep? Unacceptable.
Pros: Economic calendar|Good analytical tools
Cons: Alert system is basic
My card was charged twice by lakeside-fininvest.com on the same day. I had to dispute it with my bank. lakeside-fininvest.com 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: High security standards|Comprehensive tools|Clean UI
Cons: Spreads widen during volatile periods
I found this company through a friend who recommended it. Before investing, I checked various regulatory databases and found that lakeside-fininvest.com has been flagged as an unauthorized entity. I informed my friend immediately. Please always verify with official sources - a quick search could save you thousands.
Cons: Unauthorized firm|Found in IOSCO warnings database
After doing some research AFTER the fact (I know, I should have done this first), I discovered that lakeside-fininvest.com is not authorized by any legitimate financial regulator. They are operating illegally. The website looks very professional but it's all a facade. Please check the regulatory warnings database before investing with ANY company.
Cons: Withdrawal fees demanded|Communication cut off|Not authorized
