Out of business Broco
Updated: Apr 13, 2022

WARNING:  Broco's licenses from the Mauritius FSC were suspended on December 7, 2010.  On October 21, 2011, those licenses were revoked and Broco was ordered to disolve its business in Mauritius.  The revoked licenses continued to be displayed on Broco's website until May of 2012.

June 2012 UPDATE:  Broco now has one branch licensed in Panama.  Clients wishing to have their funds under this branch need to contact Broco to make arrangements.

July 2012 Update:  There are two FPA Traders Court guilty verdicts against Broco.  The FPA recommends EXTREME CAUTION dealing with Broco.

The FPA has seen information that indicates that Broco's application for a Cysec license was rejected in July 2010.  One of the reasons for this rejection was an open SEC case against the company and some of its shareholders.  The SEC case info is at...

http://www.sec.gov/litigation/complaints/2010/comp21452.pdf

July 2014:  After being down for some time, Broco's website us back up.  The FPA recommends EXTREME CAUTION dealing with this company.

The FPA has heard a rumor that Broco's branch in Cyprus has changed its name to VIS Technical Support.
Website is down. Company seems to be out of business.

Helo Dear Traders!

I have a real problem with Broco investments company because they dont withdraw my existing funds on "my trading account".

After almost 3 months they withdraw only 25% of my requested/existing funds and for 75% of request withdraw i am still waiting.

I dont recommend this broker, because all they say is a lie and a manipulation. Please be careful investors!!!!!

2012-06-19 1 Star Hello all Victims of BROCO...

we should begin work together and post all files here, attachments, comments and responses from BROCO...otherwise they will scam us forever...we should ruin ther reputation ....since normally there will be no money left for all of us...
PANAMA regulator is worth nothing for us clients and they will never get again a license in EUROPE after all their behaviour...

Hello traders..

As far as i know Brocompany is broke. i have heard it from different persons and also from managed account Houses.
Now they try to get some funds in by advertising for "ZERO commissions for deposits and so on. you can read it on their site.
The fact that they show invalid licences is not to describe in words, they have the nerve to do it, so you see, its working. maybe it helps the ones who wait still for their funds. ME including since already 8 months.
the only thing is now to wait and maybe a wonder happens. Maybe ehen they receive enough funds from other "Victims" who lose their funds by trading, WE, the previous customers will get back partial payments.

2011-11-22 1Star Hello ...regarding withdrawals from Broco

2011-11-22 1Star Withdrawal with Brocompany...BROCO

since 6 weeks i am waiting for my withdrawal, nearly 20k. well, its not only me, i know many other clients.
They say that they have problems with the FSC and that they have to regulate it. last info was that they would/shall get back their license back this week/from 21st of November.

Actually no money back to clients ...but for sure they open new accounts and accept deposits. well, time will show, but is is not normal any more. it might be scam.

So im wainting for your answer. What are you going to say no?
• October 31, 2011 12:59:53 PM MSK — Christos Tzianas
Dear client,

This is to bring to your notice that BroCo Investments Inc. intends to change the regulatory body due to the confusing activity of its current regulator which is the FSC. BroCo hopes to carry out it activities in such legal environment which will allow the Company to gradually develop for the benefit of its clients whilst its activity is based on the transparent and fair rules and regulations.

We hope that this step will make BroCo services even more affordable for all its clients for their benefit and joy. Such activity demanded BroCo Investments Inc. to exercise certain changes in its management and operations.

Due to this the Company would have to implement some changes in its internal procedures which may result in delays related to financial transactions. In particular the clients may experience some delays with their internal transfers and withdrawals. BroCo investments would like to apologize for such possible difficulties and would do its best to resolve all related issues as fast as possible.

The difficulties are expected to be until the end of October 2011 whilst the Company is trying to avoid potential inconveniences.

BroCo investments would like to thank you for your understanding and wishes you all the best in trading.

• December 6, 2011 7:05:34 PM MSK — Brokerage Department
Dear Client

We have come to understand that you have become stressed by the current withdrawal delay situation. Hence this letter was put together to explain the current situation and the future plans of the company.
As you may already know the FSC licensed was revoked. It was on hold for more than a year, despite meeting all our obligations and getting positive feedback from the regulatory body. We learned about the revocation early last month. Since then the company has decided to begin procedure to follow the rules of the Mauritius Company and move clients to a new licensed regulated company. During this time Broco Investments is in the process of shifting activity. We have a certain procedure manual which we have to follow and during this time we hope you are patient with us until we finalize everything. It will take approximately two months due to the numerous holidays.
At this stage BroCo Investments Inc. cannot fully comply with its obligations as per the paragraph 2.4.7 of the Agreement due to certain actions taken by the Regulatory Body of the company related to the company’s license suspension and its further revocation.
The issues mentioned above constitute temporary difficulties and by no means are going to lead to failure to fulfill all corporate obligations with respect to the clients of the Company.
By taking into consideration possible inconvenience and losses that may occur due to the temporary inability to carry out funds transfer, the Company would like to propose as follows:
- BroCo Investments Inc. and the client would enter separate agreement; under the said agreement the Company is obliged to pay the client 8% interest fee annually for the assets held in his account.
This interest rate will be applied to the remaining balance of funds held in the client’s account as from the date the Company received withdrawal request from the client until the date the funds are actually released.
The said interest rate will be credited to the client’s trading account on the first day of each calendar month and shall not be capitalized.
- The said agreement shall be available to be signed by both parties on the fifth-tenth day of December, 2011.
- After having this agreement signed by both parties the Company shall start funds withdrawals supported by of its own and side allocated funds.
In case you are ready to accept this offer I hereby would like ask you to provide your answer within ten calendar days since the date this letter is received by you.
This offer is designed to reduce possible negative consequences related to the repayment delays and obviously would help to settle the issue in the most convenient andeffective manner.
This letter is to state that the Company confirms its intentions to comply with all of its obligations in the most convenient for the client manner.

We also have the following updates
1. Currently we are acquiring a FSA license, which will cover not only the United Kingdom but the whole of Europe. This will be ready mid January and all clients may from then onwards become part of an EU licensed Brokerage firm.
2. We received an official letter from the regulatory body in Cyprus, the Cysec. This letter has been attached and translated for you to view. Briefly it is stated that our application is considered and will be reviewed by them again and that in 3 months time we shall receive the Cysec license as well. They have explained in the letter that the decisions and approach they have taken to analyze our application have been incorrect and merit reconsideration. Since they have clearly not been just in reviewing our application they have taken initiative to review it again and have promised a positive outcome in 3 months time.

Translation of the Cysec Letter:
Subject : Appeal to the Supreme Court of Cyprus

With this letter, please be advised that in view of the Supreme Court decision, dated 12 August 2011, which was adopted in appeal number 1589/09, and concerned the illegal formation of the Council of CYSEC, the committee , in a meeting of the 3th October 2011, decide to revoke the contested administrative act, in the appeal number 1346/2010, Broco Holdings LTD -v- CySec (refusal CIF)

The committee believes, that the above appeal, has become obsolete, and reserves the right, to reconsider this case
Regarding your client Broco Holdings Limited, who had applied for granting CIF, we inform you that the application will be reviewed, without requiring the resubmission of the request. Please advice on your client, so that they, in turn, inform the Commission, whether they wish to re-examine the application. If so, your client will acknowledge, that the information submitted with the original application, continue to apply or submit a new modified data, which will be considered.
Thank you for your patience, we are happy to answer all your questions.

Dear support,

according to the Agreement, what ive signed with your company, i would like to point out that there are different conditions:

2.4.7. Payment of remains by the Company or part of account balance to Client's operating account is due within five bank business days upon receipt of the request;

6.1.2. In the event of late payment of account balance remains to Client and Client's demand to pay it thereof, the Company is entitled to remitting 0.1% of the delayed payment per every day of delay to Client's account;

So according to the agreement there is a rate of 0.1% for every delayed day. Or do i understand something wrong? Thank you for your answer.

Sehr geehrte Frau Hrdlicka,

Jetzt haben wir folgende Situation: wir erwarten in diesem Monat die Lizenzproblemloesung (wir werden eine neue Lizenz bekommen), die uns erlauben wird, alle Ueberweisungen zu machen. Dass, was Ihnen Herr Tzianas und Herr Sakharov gesagt haben, ist korrekt, und ist damit verbunden, dass wir zuerst unsere vorige Lizenz von FSC wieder bekommen wollten, haben aber immer verschiedene Komplizirtheiten gehabt. Unser letzte Ausgang - eine neue Lizenz, auf die wir im MittelFebruar warten. Je schneller wir diese Lizenz bekommen, desto schneller werden alle Ueberweisungen gemacht.

Ihre Anfrage steht als Prioritaet fuer mich, ich hoffe sehr dass Sie ihr Geld am schnellsten bekommen, meinerseits werde ich alles dafuer tun. Wenn ich neue Information fuer Sie habe - werde ich sofort Ihnen schreiben.

MFG

Dear Yuri Prokudin if its your real name! Now is May and you are sleeping. Its propably because you will never get new license and your account is blocked by police. Why you are not telling us the true! We can ask directly from police. There is still some chance not to loose time with you.

Has anybody invested with Broco through EA24 over GA-Finanz (Mr. Gerd Arndt, Remchingen, BW, Germany) or Wertsystem in Moegglingen (Mr. Odehnal) ? Is there a customer who did get back his money from Broco in the last 12 months ? I have heard they have a million EUR invested in Broco through their customers with a PAMM account which has been managed. There is no phone, no email, no website anymore. It is strange, because I am looking for several months now. But no one is there and can answers question. Maybe the customers has no idea of that forum. What a pity.

Dear Mr. Tzianas,

i think im patient enough. I kindly ask you to tell me the reason, why Brocompany is broking the rules set in agreement and did not pay the funds in 5 banking days. For me its not normal, that my personal broker is not able to tell me, how long the financial department will process the request. Is it so unusual for Brocompany that somebody want to withdraw the funds?? So im asking again: How long the financial department usually process the request?
Or even better please give me a contact to the financial department and i will communicate with them, because you are not helping me at all.

2011-07-25 1 Star Sony what are you going to do? I have invested 8000 USD. The course was exactly the same as in a report from the SEC http://www.sec.gov/litigation/complaints/2010/comp21452.pdf I decided to choose the balance of 4500 USD on 20/6/2011 until now nobody take any action. Does anyone have an idea how to get money back? I'm going to write to SEC maybe they will have some idea how to get money back. Last time Broco and Mr Matslev payed 3 mil. dollars.
