SharesHolding.com has been flagged by Ontario Securities Commission for "Unregistered/Unlicensed entity offering financial products or services". Sharesholding.com found at SharesHolding.com, https://cad-finra.sharesholding.com/ and https://sharesholding.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/fiseu_Shares-Holding.pdf is not registered in Ontario to engage in the business of trading in securities. This company appears in our regulatory warnings database. Always verify with official regulatory sources before investing or doing business with this firm.
After doing some research AFTER the fact (I know, I should have done this first), I discovered that SharesHolding.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.
Pros: Professional looking website
Cons: Withdrawal fees demanded|Communication cut off|Not authorized
This company appears on the IOSCO I-SCAN international warnings list. Over 68 financial regulators worldwide contribute to this database. While being listed doesn't automatically mean fraud, it's a significant red flag that potential investors should take seriously. Do your research thoroughly.
Cons: Appears in regulatory warnings database|Uncertain regulatory status
If you are reading this considering SharesHolding.com - run. I wish I had read more negative reviews through word of mouth in my investment club. I thought the positive ones were real. Maybe some are. My experience over for a couple of months now has been so bad I feel obligated to warn others. Do not make my mistake.
Pros: Comprehensive tools|Excellent charting|Transparent fees
Cons: Website design could be more modern|Currency conversion fee exists
The mobile app from SharesHolding.com is dangerous. I placed an order that showed as pending, so I placed another. Both executed and I was overexposed. When I complained they said it was user error. The app design is misleading.
Pros: Dedicated account manager|Multi-device support|Fast execution
Cons: Wait times can be long during peak hours
Several red flags with SharesHolding.com: (1) They promise unrealistically high returns, (2) They're not registered with Ontario Securities Commission, (3) Their contact information is vague, (4) They pressure you to deposit quickly. I recommend everyone do thorough due diligence before investing with any company.
Cons: Listed in warning databases|No transparency|Pressure to invest quickly
I found SharesHolding.com from a review site like this one and the initial impression was positive. But for over a year 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.
Pros: Market news feed|Easy withdrawals
Cons: Live chat only during business hours
Opened my account with SharesHolding.com through my accountant's suggestion and regretted it within the first month. The platform crashed during a critical moment, I lost potential gains, and support basically told me it was not their problem. Absolutely unacceptable behavior.
Pros: Instant funding|Educational resources
Cons: Search feature is basic|Website design could be more modern
I gave SharesHolding.com a fair chance. After for about three months 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: Stable platform|Great customer service|Multi-currency support
Cons: Help articles are sometimes vague
I lost a significant amount because SharesHolding.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: Good mobile app|Clear documentation|Market news feed|API access
Cons: Slow to add new assets
