<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">AT Partnerships review</span></span></h2>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I feel compelled to write a review of AT Partnerships, or at least their offer process.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">While it is unknown whether their trading packages will perform as well as they claim they have performed in the past, meaning that it may or may not be a good investment, I am concerned that they may use pressure tactics to persuade people to buy their packages without letting them knowing full well what they are getting in to.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">The information and opinions shared here are mine alone and it is not financial advice. I highly recommend you to seek the advice of your accountant or solicitor before signing anything. AT Partnerships even suggest you seek independent advice on their Agreement.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">My concern is their method of operation and links to other companies
that came before them. It is possible that they may have a product that works, but the
track record means that a fair amount of caution should be followed.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">How were you contacted? Did they cold call you?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Have you had the presentation and was there any pressure to sign up at the end of it? </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Was there a discount offered as an incentive to sign up quicker than you would like?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Did they show you any kind of documentation for proof of results,
risk disclosure, product disclosure, guarantee or audited results? </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">If
not you should ask for them, and study them closely.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Also ask for full names of anyone you deal with at the company.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Ask for a Statement of Agreement, Audit , Product Disclosure Statement, Guarantee. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">They are linked back to companies: The ATP Australia, The Association
of Trading Professionals, Global Income Solutions, and Winchester Securities. Winchester went
into liquidation earlier this year. I'm worried these companies do not
hang around. Also TradingIT is selling pretty much the same packages
through Jade Capital )the AFSL licencee) and running from the same floor as AT Partnerships
in Bundall. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I'm wondering what happened to the clients who signed up
with The Atp or The Association of Trading Professionals. The ATP do not appear to be answering their phones any more. The Association of Trading Professionals website is down as is Global Income Solutions. They were all offering trading packages in Gold, Crude Oil, and Forex just like AT Partnerships. There are
suggestions on some online forums that those companies didn't perform
too well. In TradingIT's case, they may have just changed service
provider rather than their name.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Perhaps their new systems can work. You'll be risking several
thousands to find out. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">A far better option, in my opinion, would be if they offered a monthly
subscription and no upfront licence fee. That would be fair to everyone. Just share profits if there are any. There is no really good reason that I can see for the substantial up fornt fee to be charged, especially if it is non-refundable.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">There should be no pressure to sign up. If it is a good investment today, it will still be a good investment later.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Remember, the sales staff earn commission from signing you up. They may not have your best interests at heart. See this job advertisment they had in CareerOne. Note the 'Huge Commission' and 'Strong Closers'.</span></span><br />
