It’s safe to say that 2023 has been quite the whirlwind of a year. We’ve seen runaway inflation, energy shortages and multi-year high interest rates – and yet the equities market has made some of its biggest gains in years. As we take stock of this contradictory year for the markets, we at Libertex would like to recap some of our biggest successes and milestones over the past twelve months and raise a toast to all of our loyal clients existing and new.
Libertex is no stranger to industry awards, and 2023 saw us win more than our fair share of honours once again. Notwithstanding, this year’s haul began with our first award from Germany where the country’s Design Council bestowed upon us a coveted German Brand Award in the "Excellent Brands: Banking & Financial Services" category. Then, just one month later, Libertex was named “Best CFD Broker” at the prestigious World Finance Forex Awards recognizing our tireless efforts in the highly competitive Forex CFD trading space. In late September came the icing on the cake in the form of Ultimate Fintech’s “Best Trading Experience” and “Most Reliable Broker Asia” awards, which were fittingly announced in the closing ceremony of the premiere B2B finance event, iFX Expo.
Another important aspect of Libertex’s efforts beyond our business offering is our partnership with sports teams and charitable organisations. And when our partners succeed, so do we. That’s why we were delighted to be able to join our multi-year football partner FC Bayern Munich in celebrating the Bavarian super club’s 33rd Championship title and 11th consecutive one since 2013! We were similarly ecstatic to announce the upgrade of our partnership from Gold to Platinum, bringing us extended rights usage.
Of particular note however, is our ongoing work with the “Hope for Children” CRC Policy Center. This year saw us proceed with a significant donation to help HFC renovate its shelters in Nicosia, creating a more inspirational and comfortable environment for the unaccompanied children who live there. Furthermore, we also donated two vehicles to bolster the vehicle fleet of HFC, thereby further supporting the humanitarian organisation's operations and ensuring the uninterrupted provision of services to children.
It has truly been another wonderful year full of achievements for Libertex, and let’s not forget that this has been our parent group’s (Libertex Group) 26th year anniversary, for which of course we were happy to join the celebrations.
Ever moving with the times, Libertex is always looking to enhance its service with the latest technological developments. So, you can imagine how excited we were to be able to incorporate ChatGPT into our trading platform. Now, Daily Trading Ideas and Weekly Digests in the Lab section of the Libertex CFD platform – as well as Daily Digests and Best to Buy recommendations for stocks in the Libertex Portfolio platform – are all generated using OpenAI’s famous bot for up-to-the-minute accuracy. This year also saw us launch our very own semi-automated trading plugin that integrates directly with the Libertex online app. The x999 plugin is available from the official Chrome Web Store and can open, close and choose the direction of trades automatically. Nevertheless, we still value human input, which is why we also started a copy trading service for MetaTrader 4 clients this February, allowing users to mirror trades from an MT4 master account directly in the Libertex App.
Libertex has never shied away from the scrutiny of the wider industry – and that includes regulators. With this in mind, we were honoured to receive an "Investment Dealer" (Full Service Dealer, excluding Underwriting) licence from the Financial Services Commission (FSC) of the Republic of Mauritius – one of the most stringent and well-respected regulatory bodies in the world. Libertex also welcomes direct contact with the trading and investment community, which is why this May we were a Platinum sponsor and participant in Mexico's largest trading event, Money Expo. As an innovative player in the cryptocurrency trading market, we were also keen to take part in LABITCONF (Latin American Bitcoin & Blockchain Conference) in the Argentine capital of Buenos Aires for a series of informative and cutting-edge lectures with crypto experts. But the culmination of our outreach efforts has to be our still-ongoing, three-month-long winter giveaway celebrating our parent group’s 26th anniversary. When the 13-week event ends on 06/02/2024, we’ll have given away a total of 195 prizes including a brand-new Porche Panamera!
Allow us to close by saying a heartfelt thank you to all of our valued Libertex clients for their loyalty for yet another year which we appreciate tremendously of course! We sincerely wish you all a wonderful holiday season and look forward to reaching new milestones together in 2024!
