The brokerage is offering an online Binary Options and contracts for difference (CFD) trading platform. The visit to the official website of the broker has revealed the following information:
“Although users of Hedgestone’s services ultimately receive the services from a company licensed by the IFSC under license number IFSC/60/461/TS/17, Nevski Ps Ltd is the primary service provider and is fully liable for all operations, services, employee actions, and complaints.
