LONDON, November 28, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
Saxo Bank, the online multi-asset trading and investment
specialist, today announces that Saxo Capital Markets, its UK
subsidiary, has won Best CFD Provider at the prestigious Investors
Chronicle & Financial Times Investment Awards 2014.
The awards, independently voted for by the readers of the
Financial Times and Investors Chronicle, aim to identify and
recognise firms which deliver excellence in the investment
industry.
Saxo Bank's footprint in listed products is growing rapidly and
the bank has seen a five-fold increase in equity and CFD trading
volumes since 2009. This growth follows a period of significant and
ongoing investment in developing a truly multi-asset platform which
underpins the bank's commitment to offer its clients access to the
best trading and investment opportunities available. Today, through
its platforms, Saxo Bank offers multi-asset trading capabilities
with more than 30,000 financial products including FX, stocks,
CFDs, commodities, futures, contract options and single stock
options.
Commenting on the award win, Søren Nedergaard, Head of CFD's and
Listed Products at Saxo Bank A/S, said: "We are thrilled to have
received this award in a highly competitive market such as the UK.
The award is testament to our ability to extend the excellence we
pioneered in FX over two decades ago to listed products where our
clients are taking an increasingly active approach.
"Our strategy is to continue to raise the bar for excellence in
trading and investments by enhancing our platform, expanding our
product range and offering our clients access to the best
investment opportunities in the most efficient way, regardless of
which asset class or instrument they choose to trade."
The recognition comes at the end of the week in which Saxo Bank
offered its clients the opportunity to trade some of its most
popular NASDAQ listed stocks and CFDs at zero per cent commission
to mark Thanksgiving
celebrations.
"In the spirit of Thanksgiving, we
are delighted to give thanks to our clients by offering them the
opportunity to trade our most popular NASDAQ listed equities at
zero commission," Nedergaard said.
The offer is available to clients for the duration of
Thanksgiving Week.
