Broker Summary

What Wikilix has recorded about Universal Futures: its history, the licences it holds, its trading conditions and its fees.

Universal Futures is a forex and futures trading brand operated from the domain universal-futures.com, presenting itself as an Indonesian firm with an office address at APL Tower, Jl. Letjen S. Parman Kav. 28, Grogol Petamburan, West Jakarta.

Regulation. WIKILIX could not confirm that this operator holds any forex or futures licence. No supervisory authority record was available to us for this domain during our review, and the operator's own website was offline throughout, so nothing it may claim about supervision could be read or tested. On the evidence we have, the brand should be treated as unregulated.

Identity. The brand name is shared with a separately established Indonesian futures brokerage that operates under a different domain. A name in common is not a connection, and readers should not assume that any licence associated with that other firm applies to this domain. Our own on-the-ground check of the Jakarta address published for this operator did not find a working office there.

Website and offering. Throughout our review the site returned an origin server failure on the root and on every language path we tried, so no account types, spreads, leverage, funding channels, platform list or country policy could be verified from the operator itself. We publish no commercial terms for this broker rather than repeat figures we could not source.

Contact. The operator publishes a Jakarta telephone number, +62 21 2918 1729, and the email address cs@universal-futures.com.

Who it suits. Nobody, on current evidence. An unconfirmed licence, an unreachable website and an unverified office are three independent reasons a retail trader has no way to recover deposited funds. Traders in Indonesia who want a domestically supervised futures broker should verify the specific company and licence number directly with the relevant Indonesian authority before depositing anything, and should not rely on brand names alone.

    What our check found

    Indonesia's Commodity Futures Trading Supervisory Agency, the statutory regulator for futures brokers. A real and meaningful licence, but this one is registered to PT Panen Kapital Berjangka, not to this website. Client protection: Genuine protection for clients of the licence holder, including segregated client accounts named on the register. None of it extends to this website, which is not the registered site for this licence..
