XGLOBAL Invest is the investment management brand of X GLOBAL Markets Ltd. The investment management business was launched due to the demand for a service that would allow clients’ to grow their investments using a hands-off approach. Experienced portfolio managers allocate client funds to shares and exchange traded funds in stock markets that they have deep local knowledge of. Depending on a clients’ chosen risk appetite our managers either actively or passively manage their portfolio and will re-balance it on schedule.
X GLOBAL Markets Ltd is a key player in the field of online financial trading and has historically catered to self-directed clients but now works with both traders and investors. Since launching in 2012 XGLOBAL’s core values of providing fair, low-cost and transparent investment services has not changed much. However, the scope of services provided has broadened over the past several years. Historically, XGLOBAL focused on providing FX and precious metals instruments to its client base so they can trade the markets themselves on an OTC derivatives basis. Since then trading in stocks, ETFs, stock indices, commodities, energies and additional precious metals instruments have been introduced along with the investment management offering giving clients comprehensive investment and trading options. The company offers its services through the MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 platforms, which provide traders with an intuitive interface they are familiar with and provides investors a transparent view of their fund allocation and the decisions our managers take.
