At the same time, the company’s active clients have also increased in number, thus amounting to 117 400 people; the annual increase has reached 25%.
Judging by the received data, experts suppose the share of Alpari to amount to over 30% of the total monthly turnover of Forex market in Russia and over 29% of the number of active clients in the country.
It is worth mentioning that the traditional annual study of Russian Forex market held by the experts of Interfax-CEA gives an objective view of the sphere, which keeps drawing the attention of regulators, media, as well as business and private bodies, for a long time. And although large-scale and systematic joint work of state bodies, experts, and market participants has been held for a rather long time, this sector of economy yet remains far from international standards of clarity.
For this reason the number of clients in broker companies directly depends on the quality of provided services and, what is of great importance in Russian reality, guarantees of safety and safeguards of assets that belong to traders and investors. Taking into consideration the effective development of the broker’s activity, the vast means directed into creation of new technologies and modernization of existing services, one may say about the complex factor of the company’s financial success. This is clearly seen by the example of Alpari company.

This corresponds to our policy of openness, for Alpari is known to be the first company in the sphere to make the main operating data public in 2012. Last year the company did large-scale work, on several occasions improved its trading terms, increased the speed of order fulfillment, decreased commission fees, and considerably broadened the line of financial products and services.
