Unauthorised Trading: Reclaiming Control of Your Investments

When Trust Is Broken Imagine trusting a financial advisor or investment platform with your money — only to discover trades were made without your knowledge or consent. This is the reality of unauthorised trading, a serious form of financial misconduct that can lead to significant losses and a breach of trust.
At AssetTraceBack, we help individuals worldwide identify unauthorised trading, understand their rights, and take action to recover their losses.
What is Unauthorised Trading?Unauthorised trading occurs when trades are executed in your account without your explicit approval.
This may include:

• Buying or selling assets without your consent
• Making trades that do not match your investment goals or risk tolerance
• Excessive trading (churning) to generate commissions
• Misrepresenting the risks or nature of investments

This type of activity is considered financial misconduct and, in many cases, investment fraud.
Warning Signs to Watch ForUnauthorised trading can be difficult to detect, but key red flags include:

• Unfamiliar transactions in your account
• Unexpected losses or hidden fees
• Sudden changes in investment strategy without consultation
• Difficulty contacting your advisor or platform
• Pressure to accept trades or avoid questions

Regularly reviewing your account activity is essential.
Your Rights as an InvestorNo matter where you are in the world, you have fundamental rights:

• Full control over your investments
• Clear and transparent information about all transactions
• The right to question and challenge suspicious activity
• The right to seek compensation if you’ve suffered losses
