Presumably Fake or Fraud. This article doesn't cite any reliable sources. The website of this 'long established' company has been created not earler than 2009 and is hosted by a low cost provider. A german lawyer asked two canadian regulating authorities for this company: Both have never heard of it [1]. There is a lot of telephone marketing in europe/germany these days which try to make people invest in this company, so i'm led to the conclusion, that this article (and the already deleted one in de-wp) are an attempt to give this fraud a little bit reliability.

Delete as failing WP:ORG. I'm unable to find any substantive treatment in reliable, independent sources. Deor (talk) 17:27, 7 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
This is not only a blatant hoax, but a dangerous one as well. It is simply not possible for an investment institute with that asset size and employee base to escape any mention in any official registrar. None of the names check out, and the domain is now locked. The German wiki has deleted it as a hoax. This is a simple confidence scam and Wikipedia is being used - I've deleted the article as a hoax, and will leave it to another admin to close out this AFD and double check.
