Our Vision

Iris

The business was started in 1989 with a simple ethos: to make financial markets truly accessible for investors. This fundamental belief remains at the heart of everything we do at CMC Markets and staying true to that has been pivotal to our success.

CMC has reached a very exciting inflection point, and we now stand ready to enter the next phase of growth, driven by the scale of the platform and infrastructure we have built over recent years.

Our institutional strategy has created a more diversified, scalable and resilient business model, supported by long-term partnerships, embedded distribution and high-quality recurring client activity. We have a clear competitive advantage in this space, built on reputation, delivery, experience and, frankly, a lack of meaningful competition.

These partnerships give us access to vast client ecosystems that we can scale efficiently. This has already been demonstrated through our neobank partnership, which has delivered exceptional account growth, and in Australia where we have built the second largest stockbroker following the transformational ANZ partnership.

Importantly, the scale and profitability of this institutional platform now also allows us to increase investment back into D2C and retail growth. Through our new brand identity, enhanced onboarding, expanded product capability, multi-asset platform rollout and strategic sponsorship investments, we are positioning CMC for the next phase of retail client acquisition and engagement globally.

The next 12 months are expected to be a defining period for the Group, with Westpac and ASB Bank expected to come online, continued rollout of our Super App, further expansion of our neobank partnership and ongoing momentum across both our investing and retail platforms.

As founder and majority shareholder, my interests remain firmly aligned with all shareholders. I have never sold a share since IPO, and I have no plans to sell any for the foreseeable future. I am building this business for the next decade - and we are building it together.

I truly believe we are fundamentally different from other listed companies in our sector - a business built on technology and delivering that technology at scale. The next chapter for CMC is just beginning.
