What CAPEX.com does

CAPEX.com is a privately held, Cyprus-headquartered CFD brokerage operating across more than 150 countries through a dual-regulated structure: KW Investments Ltd under the Seychelles Financial Services Authority (licence SD020) and NAGA Markets Europe Ltd under CySEC (licence 204/13), with explicit service restrictions in the EU, Japan, Canada, Spain, and USA. Founded in 2016 and led by Group CFO Andreas Lambrou and Group CMO Valentin Ilioi, the company raised $21 million in June 2021 from Growth Box Ventures and Moore & Moore, and completed its first M&A deal in July 2023 acquiring WiredMarket.com's client book to enter the Greek market.

The core product is the CAPEX WebTrader platform (paired with iOS/Android mobile apps rated 4.6) offering access to over 2,100 CFD instruments across seven asset classes — forex (55+ pairs), indices (15+), bonds, ETFs (30+), commodities (18+), shares (2,000+), and cryptocurrencies. The platform integrates third-party research and charting tools (Trading Central for technical analysis, TipRanks for analyst sentiment, TradingView for charting) and is marketed as "AI-driven" through a Devexa partnership. A three-tier account structure (Essential from $1,000, Original from $5,000, Signature from $25,000) gates features such as dedicated account representatives, SMS notifications, and one-to-one meetings.

The revenue model is primarily spread-based on CFDs with secondary revenue from overnight swap charges and deposit bonuses. Customer acquisition relies on a multi-channel mix: digital content marketing, CAPEX Academy education, multilingual webinars, a referral/affiliate program, and high-visibility sponsorships including Juventus F.C. (2020-2022), Ghantoot Racing & Polo Club, UFC fighter Nicolae Negumereanu (2021-2024), and brand ambassador Zach King (2023-2024). The customer base is segmented into retail traders (entry at $100 minimum) and professional traders (Signature tier), with no disclosed named enterprise accounts and revenue figures not publicly available.
