LTP Trade

IDJ was engaged by LTP to raise a minimum of £4 million to enable LTP to support the growth of the company. In the private placing, IDJ raised £4.1million, in equity capital. The private placing gave LTP a broad range of new investors, many of whom have experience of international trade and can help LTP in further expanding its business. The marketplace has a proven track record. In its initial trading has attracted 150 financial institutions from 30 different countries as approved buyers of assets. Almost 50 transactions with an aggregate value of over $300£million were traded on the platform in this initial period.
