To SG investor,
It is important we do some analysis before we make any comment. Edgar so far have not been forth coming in their business operation. I will list some facts so we can analysis this.
-
Edgar is 100% not licensed to trade in Forex in NZ and Legion Trade limited too. The Registration number on their website is a business registration number for the respective countries, which you need to have to open a company. A finance investment and forex license nos is different ( Check out Latitude FX - Forex Trading New Zealand, Fx Brokers, Online Foreign Currency Exchange). This is how it should look. It states clearly which Securities commission it is under.
-
Also in regards to Edgar calling itself an investment company : Please note any NZ company operating financial investment have to be regulated by the NZ securities commission as well . Here is an example of how it should look - (Professional Investment Services) The reason Edgar nor Legion did not state that specifically is because if they say they are regulated by NZ securities commission but are not legally registered they can be prosecuted and jailed for fraud, which is why in their website this statement does not exist. In tihs respect they are quite smart…

Secondly, Edgar is part of a group of companies which uses itrade platform, these group of companies numbers more than 30, I can tell you for a fact they are all related to one single group of entities. Just look at their fund deposit bank account, or ask Andy the trader and you will know more.
So base on this assumption, Since they are all related and all have a supposed $100 million in capitalization each, this would mean that collectively this group have at least more than $3 billion dollars in Capitalization. Have you then wondered why they can’t even afford to employ more staff to solve payment backlog and instead froze the payment icon in Edgar ?
-
If you look closely at the so called Address indicated by the website, you will find that all of them are either Service or virtual office meaning the address is shared by numerous companies using the same receptionist. I have yet to find one of their sister companies which have an address indicated, that is not a service or virtual office. This group of companies with more than $2 billion in capitalization cannot even afford an office that is actually staffed, don’t anyone find it strange ?
-
Another very important fact, an investment company registered in the country are under the investment and securities act of the particular country. That means if Edgar is registered in NZ, and calls itself an investment or Forex trading company, it have to comply with NZ law. If people in Edgar tell you they trade in US or another county. That is a lie. Because a NZ registered company engaging in foreign investment have to apply for a NZ securities license and comply with point 2. If you are not sure ask an Auditor / Accountant they should be be able to explain this point in more details
What i have listed here are all facts, and if you do your own research online you will actually see that what i say is not just hearsay. If you need more prove yourself, just email the NZ Securities commission and ask them about Edgar and the 20 or more company registered there. See what they say.
