Our take
Axi launched as a humble two person operation in Sydney in 2007, but its growth since then has been pretty spectacular, becoming a multinational, regulated Forex and CFD (Contract for Difference) trading platform.
The company’s offering is quite extensive – access to a wide range of trading markets and platforms, business partnerships, as well as an online trading academy. While the latter products make a lot of sense, Axi has been astute to roll out its e-learning vertical as day trading surges in popularity amongst the general public.
However, Axi ultimately makes its money from its core offerings, and it seems that business is continuing to grow. Revenue has been growing exponentially for its UK subsidiary, where a partnership with Premier League football giants Manchester City is offering plenty of brand exposure.
