The Northwest Territories Office of the Superintendent of Securities is alerting investors that LeadingPips is not registered to sell securities in the Northwest Territories.

LeadingPips claims to be an online trading platform specializing in the trading of forex, binary options, crypto assets, and other financial instruments. LeadingPips is soliciting investments through its website; leadingpips.com . It is incorrectly claiming to be based out of the NWT and to be licensed and regulated.  They are the subject of an Investor Alert issued by the Nova Scotia Securities Commission.

To date, there have not been any public complaints registered with the NWT Office of Superintendent of Securities.

The Department of Justice urges all residents to exercise extreme caution when dealing with firms that are not registered in the Northwest Territories. It is generally illegal to solicit investments in the Northwest Territories without being registered and complying with Northwest Territories securities laws. To see if a company or person is registered, you can check the Canadian Securities Administrators' National Registration Search.
