Commitment to Transparency and Execution

The CEO of iBroker, Enrique Martí, expressed his enthusiasm regarding this partnership, stating that it aligns with their commitment to providing clients with superior execution standards for trading in European equity markets. For retail investors, the importance of transparency during execution cannot be overstated. Martí's belief is that it is not just an enhancement but a fundamental obligation. The collaboration with Equiduct equips iBroker with advanced tools essential for upholding this standard of transparency.

The open interface offered by Equiduct paves the way for innovative solutions, enabling iBroker to address the diverse needs of retail investors interested in equities, ETFs, and other savings and investment products.
