Expert evaluation

Sarah Miller
Financial analyst, expert

Finam broker provides its clients with access to a wide range of trading opportunities on all Russian and international exchanges. For the convenience of traders, the company has developed more than 50 programs and robotic applications, including unique author’s platforms with advanced graphical analysis functions, the ability to connect external trading systems and a built-in language for writing your own trading strategies.

Finam Group has received over 50 Russian and international awards, which confirms its high reputation among financial experts. Clients can take advantage of free access to up-to-date analytics, including market reviews, forecasts and recommendations from professionals.

The company provides a high level of personal data security using two-factor authorization via SMS and certified crypto-security.

However, it should be noted that the high quality of service is accompanied by significant brokerage commissions. Information on commission fees is provided on the website, but may seem complicated for novice traders. In addition, data on the profitability of investment portfolios is presented without clearly indicating percentage values, which may cause difficulties in assessing their efficiency.

In general, Finam offers a rich set of instruments and a high level of security, but potential clients should carefully study the terms of commission fees and analytical data presented.
