Saxo Capital Markets Wins Best CFD Provider at Investors Chronicle & Financial Times Investment Awards

London (ots/PRNewswire) -

Saxo Bank, the online multi-asset trading and investment
specialist, today announces that Saxo Capital Markets, its UK
subsidiary, has won Best CFD Provider at the prestigious Investors
Chronicle & Financial Times Investment Awards 2014.

The awards, independently voted for by the readers of the
Financial Times and Investors Chronicle, aim to identify and
recognise firms which deliver excellence in the investment industry.

Saxo Bank's footprint in listed products is growing rapidly and
the bank has seen a five-fold increase in equity and CFD trading
volumes since 2009. This growth follows a period of significant and
ongoing investment in developing a truly multi-asset platform which
underpins the bank's commitment to offer its clients access to the
best trading and investment opportunities available. Today, through
its platforms, Saxo Bank offers multi-asset trading capabilities with
more than 30,000 financial products including FX, stocks, CFDs,
commodities, futures, contract options and single stock options.

Commenting on the award win, Soren Nedergaard, Head of CFD's and
Listed Products at Saxo Bank A/S, said: "We are thrilled to have
received this award in a highly competitive market such as the UK.
The award is testament to our ability to extend the excellence we
pioneered in FX over two decades ago to listed products where our
clients are taking an increasingly active approach.

"Our strategy is to continue to raise the bar for excellence in
trading and investments by enhancing our platform, expanding our
product range and offering our clients access to the best investment
opportunities in the most efficient way, regardless of which asset
class or instrument they choose to trade."

The recognition comes at the end of the week in which Saxo Bank
offered its clients the opportunity to trade some of its most popular
NASDAQ listed stocks and CFDs at zero per cent commission to mark
Thanksgiving celebrations.

"In the spirit of Thanksgiving, we are delighted to give thanks to
our clients by offering them the opportunity to trade our most
popular NASDAQ listed equities at zero commission," Nedergaard said.

The offer is available to clients for the duration of Thanksgiving
Week.
