Evest

Evest is a multi-asset online broker, launched around 2020, catering especially to traders in the Middle East, North Africa, and globally. Regulated by the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) in Southafrica and the Vanuatu Financial Services Commission (VFSC)—and involving entities registered in the UK and Cyprus—Evest operates under an international compliance framework. Clients can trade more than 400 financial instruments, including forex pairs, stock and index CFDs, commodities, cryptocurrencies, and innovative offerings such as "Investment Baskets" (EIBs)—bundles grouped as single units for trend-based strategies. Trading platforms include a proprietary high-performance WebTrader, mobile web version, dedicated mobile app, and also MetaTrader 5 (MT5) for those who prefer advanced charting and automation. Account options are tiered: Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, with entry deposits starting around USD 250, scaling up to higher tiers offering additional features. A Ramadan Diamond account is sometimes available as a promotional offer. Leverage can go up to 1:400, and spreads vary by account, from around 1.8 pips (Silver) down to 0.5 pips (Diamond), with zero commissions on stocks and ETFs. Evest offers educational tools like the “Evest Academy,” market analysis, trading signals, webinars, and copy-trading services. Security is supported through segregated client funds, two-factor authentication, SSL encryption, and regional support. While spreads are higher on lower tiers and withdrawal processes can be slow, the platform stands out with its unique asset mix, accessible platforms, and Islamic account options. Evest has earned several industry awards (e.g., Best CFD Broker MENA, Best Trading Tools), and maintains a user-friendly design with a strong focus on innovation and expanding global presence.
