BrokerBazaar verdict
Aetram's Dubai presence combines a CMA-licensed fund and portfolio manager with a DGCX commodity futures broker, which is a different proposition from a retail forex/CFD broker. Investors should confirm which Aetram entity they are contracting with and check the stated UAE licence numbers directly on the CMA register before funding an account.
Legal entities, regulation and licences
Aetram Trades operates through 3 legal entities, each supervised separately. Your account is with one specific entity, so the protections you receive depend on which one onboards you, not on the group's strongest licence. Overall, the group is supervised by no regulator we could map to a public register.
Licence check: Not independently checked. This broker has submitted its details. BrokerBazaar has not yet independently checked them. A company registration or general business licence is not permission to offer regulated brokerage services; only the register entries linked in the table count.
Countries accepted and restricted
