AIG Trade

After reviewing AIG Trade, we assess it as a high-risk, likely fraudulent broker. Below we break down exactly why, and what your options are if you have already deposited.

Who is AIG Trade?

AIG Trade markets itself as an online trading and investment service. Its public site is presented at https://aigtrade.com/. As with most operations of this kind, the polished front end conceals a lack of the basic protections a real, regulated broker is required to provide.

Is AIG Trade regulated?

We could find no evidence that AIG Trade holds a valid licence from any recognised financial regulator. Trading client funds without authorisation is one of the strongest indicators of a scam — there is no regulator to complain to, and no protection for your money.

Red flags we identified

• Withdrawals reportedly blocked behind “taxes,” “fees” or account “upgrades”
• No credible physical address or verifiable corporate record
• Account dashboards that show “gains” with no real market exposure
• Opaque or anonymous corporate ownership
• Unrealistic profit claims and pressure to deposit more

Our analysis

AIG Trade claims to operate under Fortis Investment Holdings Ltd, which is registered in Saint Lucia. While we can confirm that a matching company exists in the Saint Lucia International Financial Centre (IFC) registry, this registration only grants it International Business Company (IBC) status. This does not constitute a valid financial licence. The IFC neither regulates nor licenses forex trading activities. Furthermore, AIG Trade is not licensed by any recognised financial authority. Therefore, AIG Trade appears to be a scam.

Can you recover money lost to AIG Trade?

If you have deposited with AIG Trade, do not pay any further “fees” to withdraw — that is part of the trap. Funds sent to operations like this can sometimes be traced on-chain and pursued through the exchanges and processors that received them. Whether recovery is realistic depends on how you paid and how quickly you act.
