Saxo Bank named Best Online Platform by Shares Magazine

Saxo Bank’s WebTrader platform was named "Best Online Trading Platform 2010" at the Shares Awards dinner at the Grosvenor House Hotel. The event was hosted by Shares Magazine, a weekly publication for stock market professionals and private investors.

Voted for by the readers of Shares Magazine, Saxo Bank's established WebTrader platform enables clients to trade Forex, CFDs, Stocks, Equities, Futures, Options and other derivatives. It also forms the basis of MSN Trader, a platform recently launched by Saxo Bank and Microsoft. The MSN Trader was presented at the World MoneyShow in London on 12 and 13 November.

The Shares Awards recognise excellence in all sectors of the investment, trading and securities industries and have been designed to find the very best providers across a range of categories including stock broking, derivatives trading, online research, software and fund management.

Shares is the leading weekly publication for stock market professionals and private investors and as such is read weekly by thousands of analysts, fund managers, stockbrokers, company directors and private investors. The Shares team of expert writers are highly regarded in the City and their comment frequently influences the market’s view of individual companies and their underlying share price. The magazine's easy-to-read style and depth of analysis has made it the indispensable weekly read for those actively investing in the UK stock market today.

Since its launch in 1999, Shares has developed a strong following from those who trade regularly on the stock market. With the unveiling of a new look in April 2008 the magazine has now broadened its coverage and introduced additional editorial features in order to extend its readership within the stock market community, particularly company senior executives, stockbrokers, fund managers and analysts.
