Investments Global

Do you think Investments Global will actually help you invest and profit in the financial markets? You are deeply mistaken. All this scam broker can do is rid you of your invested capital forever. And there’s no need to believe its promises about the best platform, competitive trading conditions, and professional support. You should read our review, where we explain what’s wrong with this platform and why it’s worth staying away from it.

Overview of Investments Global

The first impression during a meeting is the most accurate. Let’s test the validity of this statement by starting our acquaintance with Investments Global from the broker’s official website.

Broker History

Why do traders inquire about the broker’s history? The answer is simple — they are interested in the company’s experience, achievements, and plans. That’s why real projects’ official websites pay a lot of attention to this issue, providing detailed information. Who would miss the opportunity to gain trust and respect from potential clients using such a straightforward method?

However, the creators of Investments Global seem to avoid the easy way. Indeed, why bother with unnecessary details about the founding date and stages of the company’s development on the About Us page? It seems more effective to place unsupported praise for their project on it and wait for it to impress website visitors. Seriously, it appears the broker has nothing substantial to say about itself, and any fabricated facts would likely be quickly exposed by experienced traders. In short, the lack of information about its history is not a reason to consider it a scammer, but the first impression is already spoiled.

Investmentsglobal.com Website

If anyone thinks that Investments Global tried to build a positive image through a carefully crafted official website, they are deeply mistaken. Not that attempts are absent; they exist but don’t achieve the desired effect. Moreover, they can’t, as there are very few traders who would believe beautiful words about the broker’s numerous advantages if they are not backed by facts.

And Investments Global has issues with the facts. Not because they don’t exist — even the most recent scammer can find something interesting to attract a client. However, the problem with our review’s subject goes much deeper — it doesn’t know what might be interesting to its user base.

For example, judging by the homepage, the project’s creators seem to think traders are eagerly waiting to order another debit card or participate in the platform’s referral program. Meanwhile, contract specifications for different asset groups or limits and fees for financial transactions are considered trivial and not worth even a couple of pages.

Perhaps they believed that originality would attract more attention. Maybe that’s why the Investments Portfolio section contains a demonstration version of the trading platform, the Brokerage section has information about the company and contacts, and Banking on Blockchain didn’t even get a dedicated multi-page section.

However, it seems to us that the issue lies elsewhere. The project creators are genuinely unaware of the intricacies of brokerage activities. Hence, the official website turned out to be uninteresting due to its advertising style and lack of information. Such a style has become customary for fraudulent projects.

Registration Process and Personal Account

Upon registering a new client, Investments Global has followed the well-trodden path of numerous scammers. They have simplified the process to the maximum.

To create an account, one needs to fill in just a few fields in the form and provide:

• Personal information (first and last name).
• Contact details (email and phone number).
• Authorization data (password).

It is also mandatory to check boxes confirming that the user:

• Is not a resident (including tax resident) of the United States.
• Has read and agreed to the provisions of the User Agreement (curiously referred to as Terms & Conditions) and Risk Disclosure Notices.
• Does not mind receiving newsletters and promotional materials from the broker.

Of course, the registration process at regulated brokers significantly differs, both in the amount of data required and the list of documents to be accepted. However, none of this matters because the user cannot complete the registration independently. After filling out the form and submitting the data, the potential client receives a message from Investments Global: “We have received your request, see you soon!” Waiting (not just for one day) for the promised “soon” leads to nothing, and the account is not created. It seems that to get an account, one should follow the advice from the FAQ and contact customer support.

Here, the creators of Investments Global follow the patterns of scammers. Such an approach shows that the client is genuinely interested in working with this platform and is willing to deposit money. They might even convince the client to transfer a significant amount. Without an active account, we couldn’t explore the full functionality of the client’s workspace (where the personal account and trading platform are combined). However, the demonstrative, functionally limited version of Investments Global happily demonstrates itself.

Icons to access the personal account functions are placed on the left sidebar. Users have access to all mandatory account management operations — from profile and security settings editing to non-trading operations and viewing history. However, we couldn’t evaluate their specific implementation due to the absence of an active account.

Trading Platform

On the other hand, the demonstration of the Investments Global trading platform allows us to assess it almost entirely. And it’s safe to say that the evaluation is quite low. The terminal looks decent but hides many flaws behind its appearance:

1. The presence of the only price chart in the working area.
2. Inability to save indicator settings, chart settings, or the entire terminal. Users have to reconfigure everything after any interruption in the work session (e.g., page refresh or loss of connection to the server).
3. Frequent disconnections between the client program and broker servers.
4. Lack of means to create custom modules (indicators and trading advisors) and connect products from third-party developers.

An experienced trader spots software flaws right away, while a novice will have to deal with them during work. The former will likely refrain from trading with a broker offering such a terminal, but the latter will incur losses, enriching the counterparty in the transactions, in this case, Investments Global.

Contacts

As for communication channels between the client and the broker, Investments Global seems fine at first glance. The contacts page provides:

• Feedback form.
• Email addresses support@investmentsglobal.com, legal@investmentsglobal.uk.
• Phone number +448000664119.

Interestingly, working hours for online chat with customer support are published, although we couldn’t find the chat itself.

However, there is another problem. Reading the Terms & Conditions, we see that the relationship between the platform and the client is subject to the laws of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines (this is not our spelling of the country’s name; it’s a quote). It’s unclear why the registration address is not specified, and the phone number and one of the emails definitely belong to the United Kingdom.

Analysis of Services Offered by Investments Global

Certainly, the choice of a broker primarily depends on the honesty and security of its operations, the attractiveness of trading conditions, and the range of additional services offered to traders by the broker Investments Global.

Funding and Withdrawal

Investments Global did not see fit to provide separate pages on its official website regarding account funding and withdrawal. However, some information is available in the FAQ section. In particular, it states that the following payment methods are used for financial transactions:

• Bank transfers.
• Transactions with credit and debit cards.
• Transfers using electronic wallets.

Without access to the personal account, we cannot judge the conditions of non-trading operations. However, significant attention to Banking on Blockchain leads us to suspect that the primary method of depositing funds is through cryptocurrency transfers. For scammers like Investments Global, this is a real find because:

1. 1. It allows them to hide details from both financial control authorities and senders.

• Cryptocurrency transfers cannot be canceled with a refund request. 

Investments Global Trading Conditions

On the Investments Global official website, trading conditions are published on the account types page. Investments Global offers 5 tariff plans, although it attempts to confuse users with their names. Indeed, the information provided directly on the Your Account page does not match the links in the footer (at least the quantity is the same).

Users can choose an account type from the following list:

• Basic (Starter): deposit from $250, leverage up to 1:100, spreads from 1.6 pips.
• Silver (Classic): $10,000, 1:200, 1.5 pips.
• Gold (Standard): $50,000, 1:300, 0.5 pips.
• Platinum (Professional): $100,000, 1:400, from 0 pips.
• VIP: deposit from $250,000, other conditions by agreement with the broker.

As deposit size increases, Investments Global increases the trader’s maximum leverage, offering the opportunity to earn more but also raising risks. Other trading conditions will have to be discovered by the trader during real transactions since the broker has chosen to publish information about various options, such as education or personal manager support, instead.

Experienced traders find the latter almost uninteresting, but they appear attractive to newcomers. Investments Global is specifically oriented towards them because attracting funds from this audience is much easier.

Unique Features

Investments Global also offers non-standard proposals for traders — a VIP program and the opportunity to order a branded debit card. The VIP program is for clients depositing from 250,000 UFD. They receive many benefits, but the broker does not disclose the full content of the program. The program contains 3 tariff plans, and the conditions need to be coordinated with a personal manager.

The second feature applies to traders with Classic accounts and above. The main feature of this debit card is the ability to work easily with cryptocurrency (the issuer promises to execute operations as easily as with fiat currencies). Other conditions, such as card maintenance fees, are not provided.

Is Investments Global Trustworthy and Reliable?

Traders particularly need to be aware of the legality of a broker’s operations, its official registration, and licenses. We provide this information at the conclusion of our review of Investments Global.

Assessing Legitimacy

We have already mentioned that Investments Global does not disclose registration addresses or physical offices. In the Contacts section, it was mentioned that, according to the broker’s documents, it is registered in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. This information can be verified through the registry of the local financial regulator SVGFSA, which records all financial services (although it does not regulate or license Forex and CFD brokers and dealers).

As we can see, the registry found 2 services with names containing words from our subject’s name, but there is no relevant result. This indicates the lack of official registration for Investments Global. Furthermore, it can be concluded that the broker lacks licenses, and its operations are entirely illegal.

Established Track Record

The final touch in our review is information about the project’s duration. Although Investments Global does not publish such data, we will turn to the whois service, where registration dates for domains are available.

According to the service, the domain on which Investments Global operates was registered in 2005. However, it was listed for sale for a long time. Web archive snapshots show that the current owner only acquired it in 2022. The project’s start date can be considered the date of the update in May 2022.

Thus, Investments Global can be considered a veteran among scam brokers. For potential clients, this changes almost nothing, except that the likelihood of a scam significantly increases with each passing day.

Implications for Traders

Investments Global is a fraudulent CFD broker operating illegally without official registration and a license. Information published on the official website cannot be trusted. Sending money to the accounts of this platform means handing them over to scammers forever and without compensation. For those who do not want such a turn of events, we recommend forgetting about this project forever.
