Alpine Funded Marks Its Anniversary with Milestones and Growth
As of May 2025, Alpine Funded proudly celebrates its first anniversary since its inception, having firmly established itself as a reputable proprietary trading entity in Europe. Based in Cham, Switzerland, it has garnered attention from traders globally due to its straightforward funding processes, transparent policies, and dedication to fostering long-term partnerships with serious trading professionals.
Founded by traders Marco Hess and Alessandro Ciccone, Alpine Funded was created with a clear mission: to provide a more practical, trader-oriented alternative to traditional proprietary trading firms. The duo recognized the need for a firm that prioritizes the needs of traders rather than merely providing access to capital, and as a result, they set out to develop a model that benefits all parties involved.
A Year of Innovations
Alpine Funded made its debut in 2024 as not only the first proprietary trading firm within Switzerland but also a trailblazer in the industry with several innovative features, establishing new benchmarks in proprietary trading. Among these is their unique “Second Chance” feature, which allows traders to reset their challenge account, ultimately encouraging a sustainable trading journey for players committed to improving their craft. This thoughtful addition is designed to alleviate the stress of turnover in trading while providing a reliable avenue for serious traders to remain engaged.
The firm presents two flexible funding options tailored to various trader preferences. For those wishing to dive in swiftly, there’s the instant funding option starting at just $99. Alternatively, traders can embark on a two-phase assessment that grants funding contingent upon achieving performance benchmarks. This versatility empowers traders to choose their path — whether that is instant trading or navigating a challenging yet rewarding evaluation process.
Hess comments on this milestone, "The past year has validated our belief that traders seek trustworthy funding partners. While this anniversary signifies great achievement, it is merely the beginning of our journey."
Building Trust in Trading
In trading, where trust and transparency are paramount, Alpine Funded has prioritized establishing a robust reputation with its clientele. Co-founder Ciccone underlines this sentiment, stating, "This year has been about cultivating trust. Our aim has been to create a firm that traders can depend on, characterized by fair conditions and consistent support. We are proud of our developments and remain devoted to enhancing our offerings in line with our foundational principles of integrity and commitment."
As Alpine Funded advances into its second year, the team is actively focused on refining their product offerings, enhancing technological capabilities, and delivering comprehensive support for traders while remaining steadfast to their core values of fairness, clarity, and performance.
