As someone who approaches broker selection with a cautious mindset, I am always attentive to transparency and regulatory standards—especially when it comes to the total trading costs on popular index CFDs like the US100. In Patria Finance’s case, after reviewing their available information, I was unable to find any indication that index trading—including the US100 or similar benchmarks—is offered at all. Their listed tradable instruments are stocks, funds, ETFs, commodities, derivatives, and bonds, but not indices, forex, cryptocurrencies, or options. For me, this raises an initial concern because indices are a fundamental offering at most established brokers, particularly within the global trading community. Furthermore, Patria Finance operates without valid regulatory oversight, which is a significant red flag from a risk perspective. In my own experience, the lack of clear regulation can impact not just cost transparency but also the safety of your funds. While there is a fee schedule available via a PDF on their website, it is relevant only to the products they actually provide. Since indices like the US100 are not in their instrument list, there’s simply no baseline to even compare costs—be it spreads, commissions, or overnight fees—at Patria Finance for this asset class. For traders like me who need clarity and strong protections, these limitations underscore the importance of carefully reviewing both a broker’s regulatory standing and their full product suite before committing any capital. If index trading is essential to your strategy, I would urge you to seek out regulated platforms that explicitly list these products and disclose all associated fees in detail.
