“The mark of a great business is its legacy, and in 2022 CMTrading celebrates its 10th anniversary. I’d like to give you a brief history of our company.  

Back in 2011, after years of experience in the financial services industry, my former partner and I decided to establish our own investment firm. We were so confident about our venture that we resigned from our senior positions to launch a roadshow to seek investment to launch the company. However, it was not an easy ride. We couldn’t get the desired funding amount, and things didn’t work out the way we wanted, forcing us to start the company all over again. We had a strong belief in our plans and what we were doing, so we carried on, betting our jobs and savings. This was the foundation of what later became CMTrading in May 2012.  

The rest is history. The business took off and we didn’t need any added funding. We first partnered with a big local firm to provide us with the regulatory umbrella, but they lacked basic knowledge of customer support, which we eventually mastered. So, we parted ways, knocked them out of the market, and conquered the leading brokers in South Africa. Ten years later, we’ve evolved into a growing global business running from Africa to the Middle East. I can proudly say our business has stood the test of time. “
