For integrated brokerage and fund platform firm Exante, setting up in Malta in 2011 was a case of ‘new kid on the block’. Cleared of all charges from Securities and Exchange Commission accusations last year, the firm is now on the crest of a new wave, rebuilding its brand and making steps forward.

“The trading platform we built in-house is well prepared for modern times, it gives clients an opportunity to buy more than 80,000 financial instruments through one account,” said Gatis Eglitis, one of Exante’s managing partners.

“Our trading platform works on every computer and every device on the planet. We offer access to all financial instruments through one account with a debit card attached to it, from which you can trade any financial product in the world, from wherever you are,” he added.

Employing over 150 people, some outsourced, Exante plans to invest over €50m over the next two years, with the intention of having over 45 offices in Europe.
