Freedom Finance Europe Ltd

Freedom Finance Europe Ltd is a Cypriot investment firm that operates the online brokerage platform Freedom24. The company is registered in Cyprus and is authorised by the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) under a CIF licence (number 275/15). The broker was founded in 2015 and is a subsidiary of Freedom Holding Corp, a US-listed financial services group.

The broker focuses on providing retail and intermediate investors with access to global equity markets, including stocks, ETFs, bonds, and options. Its platform is web-based and also offers an API for automated trading. The broker does not appear to offer leveraged forex or CFD trading, positioning itself as a pure securities brokerage.

Freedom Finance Europe Ltd holds a single regulatory licence from CySEC, which is a Tier-2 European regulator. The licence number is 275/15, and the company is classified as a Cypriot Investment Firm (CIF). As a regulated entity, it must adhere to MiFID II standards, including client money segregation and reporting requirements.

The broker is also a member of the Investor Compensation Fund for customers of Cypriot Investment Firms, which provides compensation of up to €20,000 per eligible client in the unlikely event of the firm's failure. The company's registered address is Christaki Kranou 20, Freedom Tower, 5th Floor, 4041 Germasogia, Limassol, Cyprus.

The broker offers a wide range of exchange-traded securities. According to its fee schedules and general terms, clients can trade: - Stocks and ETFs on US, European, Asian (Hong Kong), and CIS exchanges - Bonds (government and corporate) - US stock options and exchange-traded futures and options

There is no indication that Freedom24 offers forex pairs, CFDs, or commodities as separate asset classes. The instrument list is limited to equity-based securities, making it a specialist stockbroker.

Freedom24 structures its offering into several account tiers, each with a different fee schedule. The available plans, as disclosed in official documents, include 'Prime', 'Smart', and 'All-inclusive'. The 'All-inclusive' plan, for example, waives monthly fees and offers zero commission on certain European stock trades (promotional EUR plan). The 'Smart' plan charges a transparent per-share fee plus a minimum per order.

Commissions for US and European stocks range from 0.5% of trade volume plus a per-share fee to a flat minimum per order. Options contracts are charged per contract, typically between $0.65 and $3 per contract depending on the plan. The broker does not charge deposit fees, but withdrawals may incur a fixed fee of around €7.

The primary trading platform is a web-based interface accessible via a standard browser. The broker also offers the Tradernet API for clients who wish to develop custom trading algorithms. The API supports market data streaming, order placement, and account management. No dedicated desktop or mobile app is explicitly mentioned on the official site, but web searches indicate a mobile platform may be available.

Trading tools include real-time quotes, market depth, historical data, and a variety of order types. The broker also provides educational content and market research, though the depth of these resources is not detailed on the public website.

Freedom24 appears to target self-directed retail investors and intermediate traders who want direct access to global stock exchanges at competitive commissions. The broker's emphasis on low fees and a wide product range suggests it appeals to cost-conscious investors who trade US and European equities frequently.

Given the absence of leveraged products, it is not suited for forex or CFD traders. The platform's API offering also makes it suitable for algorithmic traders. The broker does not advertise a minimum deposit, but third-party sources suggest a low entry threshold.
