Major growth for Online Broker Exante

Exante, the Portomaso-based integrated brokerage and fund platform firm is to grow its Malta team and global presence at a massive rate over the next two years.

The Maltese office, which is spearheaded by Exante co founder Gatis Eglitis, has received numerous accolades for its awarding winning trading platform and also for the Bitcoin fund which secured its place in financial history, as never before had such an exceptional result been achieved by a fund of its kind

Born from necessity, Exante brings innovation and sophistication to Malta’s funds industry. Mr Eglitis and his associates, all with trading backgrounds, were managing some hedge funds and could not find the technologically advanced service provider they needed. They set about building their own platform for global execution with very high speeds and a presence on most exchanges. Friends became the platform’s first customers and the set-up developed into Exante which was formed in 2011

The key advantages according to Forbes is Exante’s business model; it blends multi-asset fund support with trade execution services using sophisticated technologies, which enables clients to reduce lead times and benefit from counterparty relationships established and nurtured by Exante.

“We call ourselves a next-generation investment company because of the uniqueness of our infrastructure,” Mr Eglitis explained “New products, including access facilities to new markets, are designed according to Exante’s own customer de- mand trends and the business will grow as it continues to seek new markets and innovate.”

Its representatives recently returned from successful business trips to South Africa, Cyprus, London and Germany. Exante is organising a top end Golf Tournament in Riga this weekend which will attract the elite of the financial sphere in the Baltics. It is also one of the major firms promoting the Il Gardina project here in Malta to build a garden for cancer patients on the site of the Oncology Hospital.
