Highstone Capital Pty Ltd Review

About Highstone Capital Pty Ltd

Highstone Capital Pty Ltd, Australian Company Number (ACN) 672115936, presents itself as an Appointed Representative (AR) under Australian financial services, citing AR license number 001306266 from the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC); however, ASIC records confirm that this license has been cancelled, meaning the company currently operates without any regulatory authorization. Investors dealing with this entity are not protected by Australian investor compensation or conduct schemes.

Highstone Capital claims to offer trading in forex, precious metals, energy commodities, stock indices, cryptocurrencies with leverage up to 1:100, spreads from 0.7 pips on EUR/USD, accessible via web and mobile platforms, and supports real and demo accounts with no minimum deposit. However, these features are unverified; withdrawal difficulties, hidden fees, lack of MT4/MT5 support, opaque terms, and absence of client fund segregation have been repeatedly reported.
