Equitytrio Review

About Equitytrio

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) issued a public warning on November 18, 2024, stating that Equitytrio is not authorized to provide or promote financial services or products in the UK and advising consumers to avoid dealing with the firm. The FCA listing includes company details such as name, purported address (14 Fitz-James, London, UNITED KINGDOM), email, and website.

The broker claims a US-based certificate via "American Financial Group, Inc.", but this issuer is not a regulatory authority. Equitytrio is not registered with the National Futures Association (NFA), and its claimed founding year of 2011 conflicts with the domain registration date in early 2024. These facts confirm it operates without recognized regulation. Additionally, it offers a wide range of assets—including Forex, commodities, stocks, indices, and cryptocurrencies—but lacks transparency concerning trading conditions such as spreads, leverage, demo accounts, or withdrawal terms.

Pros and cons

• Domain registration in early 2024 contradicts claimed founding year
• Opaque trading terms—no clear information on spreads, leverage, platform, or withdrawal conditions
