For each region, the contacts will be different. In Eastern Europe, the company’s largest office is located in Moscow. The average response time is 10 minutes.

Investment programs

The broker investment programs worth special attention. The most popular are the so-called PAMM accounts. They imply that you transfer funds to a trader in trust, whom you choose by yourself. The goal of the managing trader is to trade your funds and make a profit, giving it to you with a deduction of a small monthly commission.

Of course, it is impossible to insure against risk in this case. But the broker provides the conditions under which the account is protected from drawdown. And you can choose a trader yourself based on the rating, tracking his profit over the last time.

As an alternative, customers are invited to invest in coins of precious gold. This is no longer a simple speculative trade in gold or silver, but the purchase of real material value. The cost of pure gold or silver increases and your investment also rises in price.

You can also download the Alpari Invest application on your mobile phone or tablet. You can choose investment portfolios for your account from it.
