Our verdict

PU Prime suits beginners who want forex, metals and CFDs traded from a small opening balance rather than a large portfolio. It is a SIPC member, so holdings carry protection of SIPC up to USD 500,000, and the minimum deposit of $50 sits well below what a full brokerage account can ask.

Safety of your money

PU Prime trades as TD PRIME SERVICES LLC under SIPC membership, licence SIPC member 3337. SIPC protection runs SIPC up to USD 500,000 if the firm fails and assets are missing. That cover sits with the scheme rather than a national deposit guarantee, so losses from trading themselves are not reimbursed. The only regulator named is SIPC.

Who runs it
