About Ayondo
Ayondo was established in 2008 by Robert Lempka and was one of the early entrants in the social trading and spread betting sector. The company aimed to connect retail investors with expert traders, allowing them to automatically copy the trades of these 'Top Traders'.
The platform operated on a social trading model, where users could browse through a list of vetted traders, analyze their performance history, and allocate capital to mirror their trading strategies. Ayondo's revenue was primarily generated from the spread on trades executed on its platform. Top Traders were compensated based on their performance and the number of followers they attracted, creating a performance-driven ecosystem.
Ayondo's key service was its Social Trading platform, which provided a transparent environment for users to engage with financial markets without needing deep expertise. The technology enabled real-time trade execution and portfolio management. The company also offered its own spread betting and CFD trading services under the brand Ayondo Markets. In a significant move to expand its technological capabilities, Ayondo acquired the Singapore-based fintech company TradeHero in 2017. However, the company faced significant financial challenges, leading to insolvency proceedings in 2019 and the subsequent shutdown of its UK operations. The brand and its technology were later acquired by BUX.
