| Comment by Reviewer | |
| "Casual traders who want a secure and straightforward trading environment will find a good broker in easyMarkets. The fixed spreads and upfront fees will also appeal to newer traders and cost-conscious investors." | "Empower is best for hands-off investors looking for a US-regulated platform and robo-advisor with free financial planning services. However, investors need to be willing to make a large minimum investment and pay higher than average fees for premium services." |
