Managed Forex FAQs

A managed forex account is very different to most other forms of investment, and so naturally potential investors have a lot of questions before opening an account.  These are some of the questions which we frequently come across, and which he receive numerous enquiries by email.

Is Investing in Forex Risky?

Well, to be honest, yes.  There is no guarantee with ay investment that you will not lose any money.  An investment in a managed forex investment carries as much risk as investment in stocks, shares, bonds, real estate, or any other form of investment.

Are My Funds Safe From Fraud?

When you choose to invest in a managed forex fund, you will always open your account directly with the particular forex broker that the forex money manager clears his trades with.  This means that the managed accoutn provider has no access to your funds, and only has the authority to take trades on your behalf.

Can you Recommend a Managed Forex Account for me?

As with any investment decision, you must always carry out your own research and due diligence into which managed forex account you wish to open an account with. However, we do recommend the services of Athena Capital, and their Athena Managed Forex Account service.  Athena’s focus is on minimising drawdown, focusing on stead, consistently profitable returns.  However, there is never a guarantee that they will continue to be as profitable in they have been in the past, and this is something that an investor must bear in mind.
