GRD

GRD Information

GRD was founded in 2000 with headquarters in KOLKATA, India and then opened several branches in the country after development over the years. It offers a series of financial services including trading in Equity & Derivatives, Commodities & Currency, Mutual Funds, as well as Depository and FPl Services, Proprietary Trading, IPOs, and Investment Advisory.

However, one thing that you should not neglect is that the broker currently operates without valid regulation from any authority bodies.

Pros and Cons

Is GRD Legit?

Regulation is a crucial aspect of evaluating the legitimacy and reliability of a brokerage firm, and in the case of GRD, the broker operates without any valid regulatory oversight. The absence of a regulatory framework raises significant concerns regarding the broker's adherence to industry standards, financial transparency, and the protection of client interests.
