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.).
