MONDAY, JUNE 9, 2014 KHALEEJ TIMES [1012767] KHALEEJ TIMES / ADVERTISING SUPPLEMENT Over the years, many brokers ap- peared in the mark et only to vanish a few years later. Windsor Brokers has been around for 25 years. What were the main strengths that kept the company strong enough to over- come the various economic, political and financial challenges of the past two decades? I would say our experience, security and professionalism. You know, it is no coincidence that the President of the Republic of Cyprus was our Guest of Honour at our Silver anniversary cele- bration. We have been active in the fi- nancial markets for over 25 years and are known to be conservative, for im- plementing and adhering to strict risk management policies and internal pro- cedures. These are crucial for maintain- ing the right balance and credibility with the authorities, clients and busi- ness partners. How is Windsor Brokers a secure in- vestment firm? In 2013, we were ranked as one of the top 10 CIFs (Cost, Insurance and Freight) based on capital reserves and actually the biggest in its field. Based on our latest financial reports, our capi- tal adequacy ratio as on December 31, 2013, was equal to 40.14 per cent, which is well above the minimum re- quired ratio of 8 per cent. Windsor is also a European invest- ment firm that is licensed and regulated by CySec and authorised/registered by major European entities. What kind of financial products/ser- vices does Windsor offer to retail and corporate investors? Windsor offers FX, CFDs and Futures OTC (Over the Counter) trading, Binary Options and GWAZY. Our partnership programmes include Business Intro- ducer, White Label, Web Affiliate, Li- quidity Provider and Sponsorships. What was Windsor’s first big achievement? Well, everyone knows the Metatrader platform but not many know that Wind- sor was actually the first broker to offer the first version of Metatrader — ‘MT3’. Windsor also created and adopted the term ‘lot’ for FX trading, simplified ac- count statements and calculations of rollovers, commissions. What is Windsor’s latest innovation? Our latest innovation is GWAZY. We were part of the creation and develop- ment of the latest trading platform and method available in the market today. We are also acting as the liquidity pro- vider and are cooperating with Gwazy Ltd for the creation of new trading methods, which will be integrated with- in the same platform. Another mega innovation was the GWAZY Brokers Solution, which was launched during one of the biggest B2B conventions, the iFXEXPO. It is a unique white label solution where front end and back-end are web-based, only takes two weeks to setup and includes everything from A to Z; platform, man- ager, risk management, tools, media kit and support. You were a key person for the intro- duction of FX trading in Cyprus as you established the first CIF. Did you ex- pect Windsor to become one of the most renowned brokers? We began our operations in 1988 with only a handful of employees. Year after year, we worked hard and expand- ed gradually in order not to compromise the quality of our products, the ethical manner in which we offer our services and support proficiency. But I did not do it on my own; I have my team to thank for that which consists of 120 persons today. You know, loyalty begins from within a company and at Windsor we are committed; many employees have been with us for over 10 years. If you had to do it all over again, would Cyprus still be your establishment destination? I would, for both personal and busi- ness reasons. From a personal aspect, Cyprus reminds me of my home coun- try Palestine. It has many similarities with regards to culture, climate, tradi- tions and principles. The beauty of Cy- prus is that you can grow profession- ally without compromising your quality of life. From a business aspect, the funda- mental reasons are Cyprus’ solid juris- diction, strategic geographical location, favourable tax system, good infrastruc- ture and highly qualified personnel.
