‘Exceptional Results’

As reported by Finance Magnates, Admiral Markets this year has procured new licenses in South Africa and Canada.

The company believes that these developments are 'eloquent success stories' that points to its strong business strategy and long-term goal to financially free 10 million people by 2030.

“Admirals' results are exceptional. Compared to the same period last year, Admirals has significantly increased its net trading income, trading volumes and net profit in the first half of the year, continuing large-scale investments in IT and innovation,” Admiral Markets said in a statement released on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, Jens Chrzanowski, a long-time executive of Admiral Markets has departed the company after 11 years of career experience at the brokerage.

Chrzanowski joined the financial services company in mid-2011 as the Regional Director of Germany, Austria, Swiss and the Netherlands. He was appointed to the company’s board in early 2017.

On the other hand, earlier this month, Francisco Sánchez-Matamoros, a former Senior Sales Manager at Polish retail broker X-Trade Brokers’ (XTB) office in Madrid, joined Admiral Markets Group as the Country Manager in Spain.
