Is AvaTrade Safe?
AvaTrade is considered low-risk. AvaTrade is not publicly-traded and does not operate a bank. AvaTrade is authorised by the following strict regulatory authorities: Australian Securities & Investment Commission (ASIC) and the Japanese Financial Services Authority (JFSA), Abu Dhabi’s International Financial Centre’s Financial Services Regulatory Authority (ADGM’s FSRA), and with the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada (IIROC).
While it still trails many brokers in the multi-asset category, AvaTrade continues to expand its range of markets, scope of trading tools, and the number of licenses under its regulatory umbrella.
