Confirm whether mutual funds are actually offered
Start with the broker's official product list for the specific entity that would serve your country. Many multi-entity brokers publish different instrument ranges under different regulators, so a product mentioned on one regional site may not be available to you. Ask support in writing which entity would hold your account and request the current instrument list for that entity. If mutual funds do not appear on the official list, do not assume an older article or forum post is correct.
- Identify the legal entity that would open your account and its regulator.
- Request the current instrument or product list in writing from support.
- Check whether any fund-like products are actually ETFs, CFDs or other derivatives rather than traditional mutual funds.
- Keep a dated copy of the broker's answer for your records.
