"It’s promising to announce another record month and quarter for Spectrum; these numbers show how far we have come as a business in a relatively short space of time, and reflect the clear demand from retail investors for a modern, flexible and low-cost trading venue. I now see us in a strong position to build on this foundation for further expansion by way of partners and members on a Pan-EU level,” explains Michael Hall, Head of Business Development at Spectrum Markets
