What this means
Regulation carries the heaviest weight in the score, which is why it is scored first.
AAAFx lists its regulation as Mwali International Services Authority, Comoros Union (BFX2025097).
Client money is held separately from the firm's own money, at Top-tier banks. That separation is what makes your balance recoverable if the company fails, rather than part of the pool its creditors divide up.
Negative balance protection applies, so a losing position cannot take the account below zero and leave you owing the broker money.
Covered by No statutory investor compensation scheme, which pays eligible clients up to its limit if the firm fails owing client money.
