Read full description
The firm's core business revolves around providing access to a wide array of financial markets. Clients can trade over 7,100 instruments, including Forex, individual shares, market indices, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and commodities. The primary mechanism for trading these assets is through Contracts for Difference (CFDs), which allow users to speculate on price movements without owning the underlying asset. Additionally, the platform offers direct investment in real shares through its CAPEX Invest service.
CAPEX.com generates revenue primarily through spreads, which are the differences between the bid and ask prices of the financial instruments offered. The business model targets a global audience of retail traders, from beginners to more experienced investors, by offering various account types and educational tools. Its platform integrates advanced trading features, such as real-time charts and risk management tools, with educational resources like video tutorials and market analysis to cater to this diverse client base.
Operationally, CAPEX.com functions through several entities licensed in different jurisdictions to ensure regulatory compliance across its global footprint. For instance, KW Investments Ltd operates capex.com and is regulated by the Seychelles Financial Services Authority (FSA). Other entities are regulated by authorities such as the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC), the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) in South Africa, and the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA), allowing it to serve clients across Europe, the Middle East, and other regions.
