Do not invest more money than you can afford to lose.
Saxo Bank, a Danish bank specialized in providing online trading services, said on Tuesday it has partnered with India’s ICICI Securities, a subsidiary of ICICI Bank, with which Indian traders gain access to the SaxoTraderGO mobile trading platform.
As a result of the partnership, ICICI Securities’ clients on the CICIdirect.com investment portal, which number about four million, will be able to diversify their investments outside of the Indian domestic market and access multi-asset investment opportunities via SaxoTraderGO.
„Through our partnership with Saxo Bank, we have now brought investment opportunities in Equity Markets, ETFs and Bond Markets across 24 countries to our customers at their fingertips. This we believe will help them to diversify their portfolio outside of India,“ Shilpa Kumar, managing director and CEO of ICICI Securities, said.
Saxo Bank’s mobile platform is offered by more than 100 financial institutions across the globe through a white label partnership. It provides Saxo Bank’s partners with access to the bank’s multi-asset trading and back office infrastructure through its own Open API.
“This partnership once again highlights our ongoing commitment to be a trading facilitator for banks and brokers around the world,” said Kim Fournais, co-founder and CEO of Saxo Bank. “India is an incredibly important growth market with a growing number of investment professionals and a very tech-savvy population. ICICI Securities has established itself as one of the leading investment firms in India and will now be able to offer their clients access seamless to global capital markets,” he added.
ICICI Securities is a unit of ICICI Bank, one of the leading Indian private banks and retail brokerage. It offers offline and online financial product distribution via the portal ICICIdirect.com.
