On November 18, 2024, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) issued a warning against Equitytrio, believing this company might be providing financial services or products without proper authorization in the UK. https://www.fca.org.uk/news/warnings/equitytrio

Equitytrio claims to hold a certificate for broker services in the US. However, the alleged issuer American Financial Group, Inc. is clearly not an authority. Equitytrio is obliged to be registered as a member of the National Futures Association (NFA). However, the company's name doesn't appear on the NFA register, indicating that it is not regulated by the NFA. Equitytrio purports to have been founded in 2011, but its domain name was just registered at the begining of 2024. This inconsistency is another red flag. In addition, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has issued a warning about Equitytrio, pointing to its unauthorized status and advising investors to stay away from it.

In essence, Equitytrio is not regulated by any governing body. Entrusting it with investors' funds is highly risky, as there are no legal protections in place to safeguard the funds. Equitytrio appears to be a scam.

BrokersView found that the domain "https://www.equitytrio.com/" is currently inaccessible. This is widely regarded as a significant red flag, as the suspension of a broker's website often points to underlying regulatory or operational issues.
