"We are very excited about this deal as it complements two of our main strategic drives: the expansion of our MT4 offering and the continued expansion of our international customer base," said Andrew Edwards, CEO of ETX Capital. "We know that the last few months have been difficult for these Alpari customers; our multi-platform multi language capabilities make us best placed to address those clients' needs. Whilst the clients may pursue their funds themselves through the administration process, we hope they accept our offer of assistance in facilitating a smooth transition of their funds to ETX Capital."
John Wilson, ETX Capital's Chairman said, "At ETX Capital we have had a very good first quarter despite the issues that brought down Alpari; following on from record revenue and profits in 2014, this deal will further accelerate our growth and increase momentum."
