While New Zealand’s regulators are barely managing to process all of the complaints regarding retail Forex broker Forex Trend Limited, which gained poor fame by not returning funds to its clients, the company seems to be gaining a new life under a new owner in Ukraine. At least this is suggested by an update published by Forex Trend’s new parent – Ukraine’s Concorde Private Equity.
The Ukrainian company first announced it acquired Forex Trend early in June 2015. Next, the migration procedure for clients of Forex Trend to the new business started.
Today Concorde said the new entity will “not be a legal successor” to Forex Trend Limited. The latter statement is hard to decipher. Most likely, Concorde is trying to get the clients but not the legal obligations of Forex Trend.
The new entity, which will try to get Forex Trend’s client database, will emerge in August this year with a new website, Concorde states.
Forex Trend Ltd was removed from the register of Financial Service Providers in New Zealand as clients complained they were unable to withdraw their money. Earlier this year, Russia’s Forex self-regulatory organization CRFIN blacklisted Forex Trend, also referring to numerous investors’ complaints regarding their inability to withdraw funds.
