Catching up with MAS Markets

MAS Markets is a relative newcomer to the liquidity provider space. Since launching in 2020, the company has expanded quickly from a small base and now has multiple product offerings.

The firm also rebranded earlier this year so we figured we’d catch up with CEO and Founder Simon Blackledge to see what’s been going on.

What does MAS Markets do?

At MAS Markets, our primary focus is on providing cutting-edge trading solutions tailored for institutional clients. We’re driven by a vision to redefine the landscape of institutional trading. 

Our core strength lies in our ability to deliver unparalleled speed, reliability, and efficiency in trading activities. Leveraging state-of-the-art infrastructure and advanced algorithms, we ensure ultra-low latency execution, a critical component in today’s fast-paced financial markets. Our institutional-grade technology, developed over the past 15 years through our partnership with SolidFX, combined with our in-house expertise in margin software development, sets us apart in the industry.

We firmly believe that our strategic approach not only revolutionises our brand but also positions us for significant growth in the future. Our relentless pursuit of excellence and commitment to innovation underscore our vision to become a leader in the institutional trading space.

You recently rebranded. What was the thinking behind that and why did you do it?

We recognized the need to establish a distinct identity that truly reflects our dedication to offering sophisticated technology and bespoke liquidity services. This rebranding initiative allows us to better communicate our value proposition and align our brand with our strategic objectives.

We were pushed by the need initially to change the name due to trademarking issues, but this is all in the process of future proofing and safeguarding our offering. What you see currently is just a very early iteration of what we want the brand to be. There is much more to come on this front. 

The market for liquidity provision is ultra competitive. How do you stand out?

It’s fiercely competitive, but we look to leverage from our years of expertise in this market, and the relationships built. This industry is built on relationships and our team continues to drive those. That trust from long term relationships is huge in this industry. 

We also stand out by offering our clients unique product enhancements, such as allowing our clients the opportunities to optimise their cash balances. Through our partnership with Blackrock, we provide access to interest on uninvested cash balances, creating avenues for clients to generate revenue even during slower market periods.

Our Interest Paid on Allocated Cash Balances program offers competitive rates across multiple currencies, ensuring flexibility and profitability for our clients. The process is seamless: clients simply request allocation of unused cash balances via email. Should they need to use the funds for margin or support positions, an email request results in instant credit into their trading accounts. This accessibility allows clients to capitalise on market opportunities swiftly while earning interest on their idle cash.

By providing instant access to funds, coupled with the opportunity to earn interest, MAS Markets empowers clients to maximize their capital utilization and profitability. Our commitment to delivering innovative solutions that meet the evolving needs of our clients sets us apart in the competitive liquidity provider landscape.

Next on the horizon for MAS Markets is the official launch of MAS Digital, our new regulated entity based in Lithuania. This innovative platform will offer clients the unique ability to deposit in crypto and convert to FIAT or vice versa. 

However, since MAS Digital hasn’t been officially launched yet, we believe it’s strategic to hold off on pushing it at this moment. By planning a proper launch for a later date, we can ensure a more coordinated and impactful introduction, effectively showcasing its unique offerings.

Any new plans or products on the horizon?

Absolutely, we have an exciting new product in the pipeline called MAS Fund, which we plan to launch by the end of the summer. This fund is regulated in Luxembourg and is open to professional investors with a minimum deposit of $150k or the equivalent in other currencies.

The MAS Fund will actively manage a diversified portfolio across various asset classes, including FX, metals, oils, CFDs, equities, money markets, futures, and options. Our fund managers will dynamically adjust asset allocations based on different strategies, time horizons (short, medium, and long term), market conditions, economic indicators, and valuation metrics to achieve our investment objective of capital growth.

One of the key advantages of the MAS Fund is its ability to leverage the existing infrastructure of MAS Markets, an FCA-regulated entity. This includes access to Tier 1 liquidity, institutional-grade technology, and lower execution costs, all of which enhance our capability to seek profits effectively.

We are actively looking for new and existing traders to join us in this venture. With the MAS Fund, we’re offering a robust platform for professional investors to engage in diverse and dynamic trading strategies, supported by our established market presence and advanced trading infrastructure. Whether you are an experienced trader looking to expand your portfolio or a new trader eager to explore professional investment opportunities, the MAS Fund provides a unique and compelling opportunity to grow your capital.
