thank you very much
don’t know them, but they appear to fall in the latter group of companies. Targeting larger accounts and their posted gains are aggressive, but not crazy. The red flags are that there is no list of who is behind them. Also, if you claim to be active for two years, how about some audited results. What I tell anyone who wants to launch a legit managed fund, is to spend the $$’s and be audited by a big four firm. Its the closest thing to real authority in this business.

@Chooks – you are right about the due diligence when the firm was established. However in the case of non Australian citizens who reside there, Australia cannot make them surrender their passport, they only do that to Australian citizens – In this case, I guess Mr. Riaz was able to exit the country on his passport issued by his country of citizenship.

why they don’t publish info about Ameritrade?
that’s why, because Ameritrade does provide forex
and therefore should be included in this report
