sure, and easy stay away! all that is offered over the internet etc is fraudulent and not existent.

Private placements are placements of debt to accredited investors. Read Regulation D.

Internationally there are players for the big stuff which outsource the address risk in an arbitrage like transaction and by taking that risk you get the high reward, complex and difficult, for institutional players only. If you want the details it will take more space than this forum will supply, there are fori which specialise on these and similar sapphirecapital.proboards.com for example.

Thanks for the reply. I checked out the forum you mentioned in your post, but unfortunately, even the section regarding "Private Placement" is locked...!

Seems to be a pattern with this type finance.

its locked for members only because when you read up on private placements, you do not make them public without violating the regulations, when you are a member you get a password for that section, if not ask the Admin for one

I will ask the Admin, in that case.

Again, however, it just seems that such terribly "shady" programs claim exorbitant and downright "unrealistic" returns while a never-ending amount of so-called "agents" claim to have this or that contact and how any dilligent investor trying to perform even the most basic due-diligence is harassed left and right that he's "violating secrecy rules" and/or possibly exposing this "underworld" of billionaires.

Therefore, I'm trying to form my own opinion from my own research.

there is no such thing as violating secrecy rules, the only rule is that you can not offer to the public; the real thing has dark pool syndicates as participants and institutional handling, there is no private participation without a licence in most countries.

Greetings SKTrading,

Real Tier 1 Platforms follow a strict non-solicitation clause based on SEC regulations. Most individuals whom you find on forums are not directly, nor probably have anything to do with the actual trade group. In a real working platform the instruments being used are "unconditional". They do not require any undertaking or indemnities on part of the clients bank. And because these are divisible, unconditional, and transferable, they can be used just as an instrument that you have purchased. The funds stay in the clients bank and the credit line is raised 10 to 20 times the principal amount depending whether a Western European or North American bank is being used (most trade groups will recommend W.European banks due to higher leverage). Basically this kind of trading is risk free, due to the credit line being underwritten by the trade group. In a real platform their are absolutely no upfront fees and no escrow deposits and the trade group takes full liability when loaning against the instrument.
