Freedom24, an innovative Stock Brokerage platform launches in Romania
Freedom Holding Corp, a NASDAQ-listed international investment group, has launched its global stock exchange trading platform, Freedom24, in Romania. Established in 2008, the group has extensive expertise across the US, Europe, and Central Asia and a market capitalization of approximately $4.8 billion.
„We are confident that Freedom24 will be very well received on the Romanian market. Romanians have shown a growing appetite for investing in innovative global companies listed on international stock exchanges. We provide our clients with everything needed for successful investments, including direct access to the world’s largest stock exchanges, professional securities analytics, user-friendly trading applications, and responsive customer support in their language”, said Olga Milko, Business Development Director at Freedom24.
Freedom24 offers Romanian retail investors access to over 1,000,000 trading instruments including stocks, ETFs, futures, bonds, and stock options across 15 major American, European and Asian exchanges (NASDAQ, NYSE, CME, HKEX, Euronext, LSE, Deutsche Börse, etc.). In addition, clients can access structured products designed by professional financial engineers. The platform has some of the lowest trading fees in Europe: starting at €0.02 per stock/ETF plus €2 per order, and $0.65 per contract for US stock options. Customers also benefit from several exclusive advantages. These include free weekly investment ideas from Bloomberg-awarded analysts with an average return of 16%, helping them capitalize on various investment opportunities, client support in Romanian and the option to work with a personal manager.
Freedom24 upholds high regulatory standards. The broker is regulated by The Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) with authorization to operate in all EU member states and is fully compliant with the MiFID II – a regulatory framework that ensures the highest investor protection level possible. The customer’s assets are insured by ICF (Investors’ Compensation Fund) for an amount of up to EUR 20,000.
The broker is a member of Euroclear Bank’s Admissions Committee and AFME (Association for Financial Markets in Europe) and undergoes regular audits and due diligence processes conducted by Deloitte, one of the Big Four accounting firms. The international rating agency S&P assigned the firm a long-term credit rating of B/B with a stable outlook.
