Our verdict

AMP Futures is a US futures broker for traders who want a small entry point and a regulated US entity, and a poor fit for long term saving. Accounts open from $100, and money sits under SIPC up to USD 500,000 rather than a deposit guarantee.

Who it suits

  • Traders who already know futures contracts and want a US regulated broker
  • Anyone who wants to practise before funding an account, since demo account is available
  • People who read SIPC carefully and are comfortable with SIPC up to USD 500,000 as the limit on their money

Who should look elsewhere

  • Long term investors, because markets cover only futures and offer no savings or fund options
  • Traders who want a lower entry point than $100, since CFI asks $0
  • Readers who want a bank rather than a futures broker, which bunq is, with a minimum deposit of €10

Frequently asked questions

What is the minimum deposit to open an AMP Futures account?+

Accounts open from $100, which is a small starting figure for a brokerage account. It compares with $0 at CFI, so the entry point matters if you are testing a platform. The broker also offers demo account, so you can look at the platform before you commit funds.

Who regulates AMP Futures?+

The broker sits under the NFA, with licence number 0412490, and is also registered with the CFTC. Both are US regulators. The legal entity that holds the relationship is AMP Global Clearing LLC, based in the United States.

How is my money protected?+

Customer funds are covered by SIPC up to USD 500,000. That is a securities investor protection scheme rather than a bank deposit guarantee, so it is worth reading the limit before you trade large size. Anyone wanting a deposit guarantee would be looking at a different kind of product.

What markets can I trade?+

The list of futures is the whole offer, and it is a narrow one. There are no shares, ETFs or funds to hold, so this is a tool for trading contracts rather than for building a savings pot. Look elsewhere if you want a mixed portfolio.

How do I get help from the broker?+

You can reach the team through chat, phone and email. That covers a phone line, email, live chat and a self-service help centre. A phone line is useful for a broker where questions tend to come with open positions attached.

How long has the broker been running?+

The firm was founded in 2009, so it has been trading for many years. It has been part of the industry through several fee and margin cycles, which matters more for a futures account than a launch date alone.

Can I try the platform before depositing?+

Yes. The demo account is the feature on offer, and it is the only extra this broker lists. It lets you place practice orders without risking money, which is a sensible first step with a leveraged product like futures.
