ArmInfo.Armenian broker Invia Investments has obtained a license from the Astana International Financial Centre (AIFC) and completed all necessary procedures to connect to the international trading platform ITS. This will soon enable Invia Investments to provide its clients in Armenia with access to trading some of the most liquid global stocks available on ITS.

Invia Investments, a technology-driven company, enhances investment  portfolios by providing a comprehensive range of financial services -  including brokerage, dealing and custody - to both retail and  institutional investors.

"Invia is committed to building long-term partnerships based on  trust, transparency, and our clients' success. As an ITS trading  participant, we can provide our clients with enhanced investment  opportunities, particularly during hours when major international  exchanges are closed," said Anait Shakaryan, CEO of Invia  Investments.

ITS's extended trading hours - from 10:00 AM Astana time until 03:45  the following day (05:00-22:45 UTC) - allow investors to efficiently  manage their portfolios and quickly respond to corporate and economic  events, even when major listing exchanges are closed.

"We are delighted to welcome Invia Investments as a new professional  trading participant on ITS. The addition of this broker expands  trading access on our platform to a broader range of investors," said  Chingiz Kanapyanov, Chairman of ITS.

"We expect the number of ITS participants from Kazakhstan and other  countries to increase significantly over time, leading to more  investors worldwide trading international securities on ITS."

Its advanced technological  solutions offer significant advantages for high-frequency (HFT) and  arbitrage traders, as well as other clients who value cutting-edge  technology, speed and reliability.

The company is licensed by the Central Bank of Armenia (License No.  0025) and provides a broad range of financial services, including  brokerage and dealing. Invia Investments' clients can leverage  structured products to optimize their portfolios and access expert  consultations on financial planning, risk management, and market  analysis.
