The announcement comes after Invast Global established its first European office in Cyprus as part of its strategy to build a global network of distribution channels. The acquisition of GMO-Z.com will provide Invast Global with access to a deep pool of talent, particularly in the areas of quantitative trading and market making, as well as strengthen relationships with existing clients and potential clients as well as vendors and partners.
Takeshi Kawaji, President and CEO of INV Inc. explained:
As we continue to expand globally, we look for opportunities that match our business strategy with product offerings that align with our expertise. Upon examination, it became clear that GMO-Z.com Trade UK complemented our existing businesses in Tokyo, Sydney and Cyprus. We see great opportunities for continued growth and are excited about the future possibilities this acquisition creates.
Gavin White, CEO of Invast Global added:
As a multi-asset Prime Brokerage that has merged many decades of experience in Japanese online broking with some of the sharpest institutional brokerage executives in the industry to build a bespoke liquidity offering, this acquisition will speed up our global expansion plans that began with the office in Cyprus. This gives us access to the UK market that will further enhance our value proposition to our existing clients and enable us to continue to grow and service more clients.
