Marketsi brings quant investing to retail investors

Markets.com is proud to launch Marketsi, a new way for investors tap into financial markets.

Marketsi marks a step-change in retail investing, introducing investors to quantitative investing technology with the Investment Strategy Builder. This enables investors to create and manage their own dynamic stock portfolios using the kind of data and algorithms harnessed by hedge funds and banks.

Users can access pre-defined alpha-generating quant strategies and create their own unique strategies with an easy-to-use interface that lets them filter stocks based on dozens of different fundamental, technical and sentiment signals. And they can continuously back test and optimize to find the perfect alpha-generating approach.

With Marketsi we are also offering clients a direct market access Share Dealing platform so they can manage all their investments in one place.

And our multi-asset trading platform, Marketsx, just got a whole lot better with lower spreads, more ways to trade the most popular products and an ever-expanding universe of assets. Best of all, our tools continue to set the pace in the industry with the most impressive suite of Technical, Fundamental and Sentiment based analytical tools.

For UK clients we are now adding Spread Betting to the existing CFD trading products, giving traders the option to benefit from tax-free trading.

SAYS MARKETS.COM CEO JOE RUNDLE: “We’ve made a big leap into the investing space and are keen to make a splash with a product that is going to change things up for retail investors. Our quantitative-based portfolio builder lets retail investors tap into the kind of technology and data that’s used by the biggest banks and hedge funds to maximise returns.

We are super excited about launching investing products so our clients take more control of their money. And with Spread Betting we hope to be able to meet the needs of all our UK traders.

Our new strapline reflects our goal to be the only place you need for trading and investing: ‘The world of financial markets, your way’. This is what we stand for, and it’s at the core of our new branding and website. We’re incredibly proud of how far we’ve come in the last two years.”

Redesigned, re-engineered, repurposed

A totally new look and feel was required to reflect the change in what we are offering our customers. So, we launched a new website that communicates our values more clearly. It’s packed full of new features, while a slick new design makes it easier than ever to get to exactly where you want to be.

And we’ve expanded the Knowledge Centre with more analysis, insights, educational webinars and XRay, our live in-platform streaming service.
