In 2006 he starts working in Soxo Bank Denmark: first as a trader, then as a specialist of institutional trading. Eglitis begins to work with large volumes of investments by applying his knowledge from academic institutions. This type of sales can only be afforded by large institutions in the financial environment - this is unlike retail traders. Having access to information from transactions of other bank traders helped Gatis to analyze the situation on the markets and choose the right decisions. There is fierce competition among "institutionalists", which helps to identify weak players. In a tough environment, only the most recent deal can show how successful a trader is. Clear understanding of the situation, planning and development of strategic tasks led Eglitis to the position of the bank's Institutional Sales Manager.


Company Ideas

Interacting with large global investors, Gatis Eglitis points out that all trading platforms offer complex trading strategies. The way to secure loan repayment and reduce credit risk - loan derivative, statistical arbitrage with its cross trades, futures - is an incomplete list of financial instruments that exclude simple trading strategies. This is when the would-be broker considers creating his own platform to enable private investment funds to act aggressively. The main goal of such funds is to gain maximum profit using borrowed funds and price formation.

Company provides availability of many financial instruments through single client account with fixed payment details. Using only one account the client from any corner of the globe can conduct trading operations. Gatis Eglitis, while giving the interview, said: "It is necessary to switch as soon as possible from one asset class to another if you want to reduce the risk. No other company allows its clients to manage assets in such a dynamic way".
