AssetsFX Review · 2026

What is AssetsFX?

AssetsFX is a forex and Contract for Difference (CFD) broker operated by Assets Global Ltd, with trading activity traced to 2013. FXSharp lists Limassol, Cyprus as the headquarters, while the company's legal pages also name a registered office in Port Louis, Mauritius. The current contact page lists a Limassol office at 59 Dimitriou Kitrou, Agios Athanasios. This split between operating location and registered entity matters when checking which authority actually supervises client activity.

The broker offers CFD trading across forex, metals, indices, futures, shares, and crypto. Its execution policy says the firm acts as principal, meaning it is the counterparty to client trades. The same policy describes AssetsFX as the sole execution venue rather than an agent routing every order to an external regulated market.

Is AssetsFX regulated? Verification check

AssetsFX states that Assets Global Ltd is regulated by the Financial Services Commission (FSC) Mauritius. FXSharp classifies that claim as not verified. The claimed forex authorization could not be independently confirmed in the FSC public register on September 21, 2026. A Mauritius corporate registration does appear for Assets Global Ltd, but company registration and a financial-services license are different records.

The broker's own legal pages also show conflicting company-registration references. The site footer uses C207079 GBC, while the risk disclosure identifies registration number 197266 GBC. Because the licensing claim remains unverified, AssetsFX is classified as suspicious rather than regulated. No Tier-1 regulator or investor-compensation scheme was verified for the broker.

Trading platforms

AssetsFX advertises MT4 and MT5 (MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5) plus a WebTrader interface. Its account pages show MT4, MT5, and web access for Cent, Standard, ECN (Electronic Communication Network), and ECN Pro accounts. The Zero ECN page lists MT5 and web access. Expert Advisors, which are automated trading programs on MetaTrader, are also permitted according to the broker's account material.

The platform offering is separate from regulatory verification. FXSharp marks the MetaTrader server as unverified because a MetaQuotes-listed server was not independently confirmed. Platform availability therefore shows the software the broker advertises, not a regulatory endorsement of the company operating it.

Red flags and warning signs

Several documented points require separate attention. First, the Mauritius regulatory claim remained unverified in FXSharp's check. Second, Indonesia's Commodity Futures Trading Regulatory Agency (BAPPEBTI) included the Assets Fx domain in blocked records for activity without local authorization (source: BAPPEBTI, 2022-02-02). Third, the broker's own documents use inconsistent Mauritius company-registration numbers.

• The order-execution policy says the firm acts as principal and sole execution venue.
• The risk disclosure says losses can exceed margin, the collateral posted for leveraged trades, or deposits.
• The website also markets segregated funds and negative balance protection.
• The public offer permits the company to restore a negative balance using funds in another client account.

Those statements create a material contrast between marketing and contractual risk language. The website advertises client-fund protections, while the risk document allows losses beyond deposited margin. The execution policy also makes the broker itself the counterparty to each client transaction.

What is the minimum deposit?

The minimum deposit starts at the $1 Cent account. The Cent account lists a spread, the bid-ask price gap, from 2.2 pips and no per-lot commission. It also lists leverage, the exposure-to-margin ratio, up to 1:1000. A pip is a standard forex price unit, while a 30% stop-out is the forced-closure threshold.

Other published thresholds rise sharply by account type. The Standard account starts at $10, ECN at $50, ECN Pro at $1,000, and Zero ECN at $5,000. The minimum deposit therefore depends on the pricing model rather than one universal account requirement.

Is the broker on any regulator warning lists?

Regulator-warning status includes a documented Indonesian authorization issue. BAPPEBTI, Indonesia's Commodity Futures Trading Regulatory Agency, published blocked-domain material that includes assetsfx.com among entities operating without local authorization (source: BAPPEBTI, 2022-02-02). The finding concerns Indonesia and does not by itself prove misconduct in every jurisdiction.

The broker's own terms also state that it cannot promote financial services where it lacks authorization. For a prospective client, the operational point is jurisdiction-specific. A Mauritius corporate registration does not replace a local broker license where local law requires one. FXSharp found no verified authorization from a major onshore regulator.

What do user complaints say?

User complaints sit within a 3.5/5 aggregate rating from 176 reviews on the scan date. Recent negative reviews included allegations about rejected withdrawals, profit removal, and account-access disputes. Those are user allegations rather than regulator findings, and AssetsFX publicly disputes several of them by referring to its internal account and transaction records.

The review signal is mixed rather than one-sided. Positive reviews describe smooth deposits, withdrawals, and platform access, while recent one-star reports focus mainly on withdrawals and account handling. Because public reviews are not audited financial records, they are useful as a complaint signal but not as proof that any individual allegation is correct.

How to verify the license claim yourself

License verification is a record-matching exercise, not a logo check. A genuine regulatory match should connect the broker brand to the legal entity, license number, permitted activity, and current status on the regulator's own register. For AssetsFX, FXSharp's review did not verify the claimed Mauritius forex license on September 21, 2026.

1. Search the FSC Mauritius public register for Assets Global Ltd.
2. Match the exact legal entity and license number shown by the broker.
3. Confirm that the permission covers retail forex or CFD activity.
4. Check whether the regulator lists the license as active and unrestricted.
5. Compare the registered address with the broker's legal documents and payment entity.

A company-registry entry confirms incorporation status, not permission to offer leveraged retail trading. Financial-services authorization requires a separate regulatory record and defined permissions. A current license check should therefore end on the regulator's record, not the broker's footer.

Where is the broker actually based?

The broker's stated location spans Cyprus and Mauritius. The headquarters is in Limassol, and the contact page lists a Cyprus office there. The legal terms place Assets Global Ltd's registered office in Port Louis, Mauritius. The stated address is Level 6 Ken Lee Building, 20 Edith Cavell Street. Both locations therefore appear in the broker's own materials.

The distinction is legal rather than cosmetic. An operating office can handle support, marketing, or administration, while the contracting entity can sit in another jurisdiction. Client agreements normally follow the legal entity named in the contract. The Mauritius entity is therefore the key record to match during license verification.

Recovery options if you've already deposited

Fund recovery depends on payment method, jurisdiction, and the facts of the transaction. A client can first preserve account statements, deposit receipts, withdrawal requests, support transcripts, and the version of the terms accepted at signup. Those records establish a timeline if a payment dispute or formal complaint later needs documentation.

Card issuers can explain whether a transaction qualifies for their dispute process, while banks and payment providers have their own transfer-recall procedures. A regulator or financial ombudsman can only assist when it has jurisdiction over the entity or transaction. Because FXSharp's review did not verify AssetsFX's claimed Mauritius forex license, clients should confirm the competent authority before relying on a regulator complaint route.

Account types and bonus terms

Account types include Cent, Standard, ECN, ECN Pro, and Zero ECN. The ECN label describes an Electronic Communication Network model, although the label alone does not establish how every order is routed. The execution policy separately states that AssetsFX acts as principal and sole execution venue, so account marketing should be read alongside that contractual disclosure.

Published pricing starts from 1 pip on Standard, 0.01 pip on ECN, and 0.0 pip on ECN Pro and Zero ECN. Commissions are listed at $3 per lot per side for ECN and $2 for ECN Pro. Several account pages also advertise bonuses, while the partnership and promotion terms allow conditions that can affect bonus credit and account handling.

Is AssetsFX safe? Honest assessment

AssetsFX combines broad account access with unresolved regulatory verification. The broker publishes MT4 and MT5 access, a $1 Cent entry point, spreads from 0.0 pip, and leverage up to 1:1000. Those trading terms do not substitute for confirmed financial supervision.

The main unresolved issue is the claimed FSC Mauritius regulation, which FXSharp could not verify on the public register. BAPPEBTI also included the domain in blocked records for unauthorized activity in Indonesia (source: BAPPEBTI, 2022-02-02). The broker's own legal documents add counterparty and off-exchange (outside a regulated exchange) execution disclosures, plus inconsistent company-registration numbers. These findings support checking the exact legal entity and active license before treating marketing claims as regulatory protection.
