GCI in the Press

Bullish on the potential of the East Asian and Southeast Asian markets, a large on-line stock trading company, GCI Financial Limited, is building up its presence in the region to tap the potentially profitable middle class and entrepreneur sectors. Its objective: to attract individuals to earn profits through over-the-Internet trading, making available easy access for armchair investors to the glamorous world of foreign exchange trading and overseas stock exchange indices.

           There is nothing limited about GCI Financial. One of the world's major on-line stock and currency trading firms, GCI Financial has a strong global presence with serving a worldwide clientele on a 24/7 basis, facilitating billions of dollars monthly in online transactions in Europe,  Asia and the Pacific, and the Middle East. Its market analysis is used by global stock watchers Multex.com and Reuters, and is subscribed to by financial institutions J.P. Morgan, HSBC Asset Management, and Goldman Sachs.

The company is among the world's top ten online trading firms, and it is one broker that offers commission-free trading and low margin requirements, which is good news for investors and would-like-to-be investors who are turned off by brokers who charge high commissions or wide spreads. Beginners can access FOREX, share and index trading with low margin requirements of $500 per lot and $50 per lot for mini-accounts. GCI collects zero commission, waiving all fees and offering complete transparency on where the market is going and where stocks can be bought or sold.

GCI Financial is growing strong in Asia, where improved telecommunications systems, proliferation of high-quality Internet connections, and growing Internet usage are making online trading a boom activity.

Clients can access GCI's website (www.gcitrading.com) and make their transactions through a user-friendly GCI-developed interface that gives comprehensive advice on open positions, margin levels, and profit-and-loss monitoring data. Powering up this interface is a powerful, number-crunching proprietary software that processes transactions, queries, and collates information in real-time, keeping the company databank up-to-date and reflective of the situation and performance of stocks worldwide as they happen. It also provides real-time prices in all major currencies, market indices, individual shares and futures. 

The GCI software does complete account management, providing clients with real-time account statements, account equity, profit and positioning tracking. The same software also does trade execution for clients, and allows the client to buy and sell currencies (FOREX) such as Euros/USD and USD/Yen, individual shares, share indices (such as the S&P 500, German Dax 30, Dow Jones industrials, Nikkei 225, Hang Seng Index, MSCI Taiwan), and commodities (gold and crude oil).

The online databank is supplemented by shifts of professional technical adviser teams who can assist and handle queries, speaking in ten languages, accessible through telephone and live, online chat.

GCI Financial clientele is composed of individual traders, money managers, institutions, and various financial intermediaries. But the company has its sights on attracting more individual traders in Asia, targeting the sector of savvy, risk-taking middleclass men and women who have some small capital to play in the stock and currency markets. The appeal offered by GCI Financial is secure access to the choice exciting stock exchanges of the developed economies.

The medium for trading is the Internet, and GCI's encryption protocols, honed by years of on-line expertise and trading software development and improvement, ensure clients a secure, intrusion-free environment. The GCI online trading system is stable and one of the most advanced in the world.
