This I a great question and one that you should always have in mind when you meet a financial advisor that you do not know yet. Depending on where you live, Anh Thomas may not be regulated by your local regulator. Of course not being regulated does not mean in any way that you cannot do business with us. This is instead mainly a question of trust. It is indeed always recommended to deal with regulated institutions when it comes to your money. However, our company may not be regulated in your country for a good reason and this reason is quite simple to understand. Anh Thomas Investment covers the whole world. Our clients come from many different countries and we have sometimes just even one client in a specific country (say hello to our currently only client from Ukraine ;-) ). In addition, we do not have access to our client's money at any time so we never considered being regulated as a necessity. Anh Thomas Investment remains a relatively small company. Being regulated in every countries our clients come from would be time consuming and that is why we chose to set up our company in Delaware. We mainly expand our client base by word of mouth. Basically, we started advising friends and family members and they started to talk about our services to their own friends and family members. Word of mouth has been our main marketing tool. It is free advertising triggered by customer experiences when these go beyond what they expected.
