SME News Q4 2018

SME NEWS / Q4 2018 51 , As an independent introducing broker, TMS Capital – under the retail brand Twowaymarkets – offers clients a bespoke trading account solution. In late November, TMS was recognised in SME News Magazine’s 2018Winners’ Review programme as the ‘Best CFD Trading Specialists in the United Kingdom’. We spoke with the firm’s Director, Adrian Buthee, eager to find out more about the firm’s work in this notoriously competitive sector. Providing Best in Class and Cost-Effective Brokerage Solutions for Investors It would be no overstatement to say that the investment landscape can be daunting for a new investor. Faced with a plethora of options, the best choice is often far from obvious, and new investors often balk at the responsibility of choosing the right option for their specific financial situation. Established in 2003, TMS Capital offers two investment solutions that are designed to simplify a client’s trading journey, resulting in lower margins, flexible trade sizing and reduced dealing costs. Their expertise and brokerage network also makes them ideally placed to offer support to new clientele, as well as being cost-effective - an enticing combination. To start, Adrian offers more detail on his firm’s approach to brokerage services. “As an independent introducing broker, we talk to our active Contract for Difference (CFD) and spread betting clients about their trading plans and then place them with the broker that best serves their needs. Since we are remunerated by the end-broker, there is no additional cost for the client, which allows them to receive a superior service at a very low price.” “We also offer a number of Managed Account opportunities for Professional Customers along with Copy Trading services for Retail Traders. Both of which offering the opportunity for excellent returns as part of a client’s diversified portfolio of investments.” Where other brokerage services specialise in one service, TMS Capital distinguishes themselves through their execution and investment management offerings. “Most brokers only offer one solution. We work with many brokers around the world. We know these platforms and offerings and our experienced traders work with clients to help them choose the one that best suits their needs. This ensures their trading plans are maximised through account efficiency giving our clients a better outcome.” Adrian takes a moment to emphasise, the firm values a client-centric approach to their work. “Our firm’s overall mission is to provide clients with a low cost, and yet, high-quality service that cannot be found elsewhere. We ensure an unrivalled service by offering 1 to 1 training and coaching for all clients to ensure their needs are met every time. It is this extra care and attention that makes TMS Capital the first place our clients come to when they need support with their trading.” As we come to the close of the interview, Adrian discusses the challenges affecting the trading industry in the UK. “We are in the Trading Financial Services industry and our clients are speculating actively on the movement of Stocks, Forex, Stock Indices and Commodities. The regulations are always changing, including a big change this year. However, we adapt and inform clients how these regulatory changes might affect them and how to minimise any impact.” Finally, in his closing comments, Adrian talks on the impact of industry awards on small business success. “Awards such as these will be a tremendous springboard for us to expand and find new strategic partners for mutual growth. Ultimately, we are proud of our achievements to win these awards and it really WR180096 underlines the quality of the staff we have here in helping people to find their best trading solution.” “As an introducing broker, it is hard to separate our “independent” service from the principals, so these awards go a long way to give us our own identity and demonstrate the higher standards of service we offer, over and above what is available elsewhere.” Contact: Adrian Buthee Address: Cranfield Innovation Centre, Cranfield, MK43 0BT, United Kingdom Website: www.tms-capital.com Telephone: 0207 099 1138
