Astor Review Awards 2026
Best Emerging Broker 2026
Awarded to Olympus Capital — recognised for a genuine product edge rather than competing on price.
The Winner
Best Emerging Broker: Olympus Capital
The emerging-broker category is unforgiving. New multi-asset brokerages compete against incumbents with a decade of infrastructure, regulatory presence across several jurisdictions, and client relationships that took years to build. Most new entrants compete on spread and marketing spend. Most do not last three years.
Olympus Capital is recognised for building a genuine product edge rather than competing on price. Its proprietary copy-trading strategies, developed in-house and unavailable elsewhere, give traders access to systems built specifically for the platform rather than licensed and relabelled. In a category where most brokers differentiate through marketing, Olympus differentiates through what it has actually built.
What the Category Rewards
Four things judged, not one growth number.
Execution quality
Retail brokerage competes on execution, and execution is an engineering problem before it is a marketing one. Platform reliability under load separates a brokerage that scales from one that merely acquires.
Partner infrastructure
An introducing-broker programme built to scale — with transparent terms and reporting partners can actually use — is a durable distribution asset rather than a promotional one.
Client asset protection
Segregation, custody arrangements and withdrawal reliability are the things clients only notice when they fail. Building them properly at the outset is invisible when it works.
Support that resolves
Olympus is recognised for support built to close issues on first contact, not reopen them through an endless queue. It optimised for resolution where the industry measures response time.
From the CEO
Ashmeet Arora — Chief Executive Officer, Olympus Capital
“The brokers who last are the ones who understood early that trust is built in the details clients rarely talk about — how fast a withdrawal clears, whether support resolves an issue or just acknowledges it, whether the platform holds up when it matters most.”
“I trade myself, which means I’ve sat on both sides of every one of those decisions. That perspective shapes how we operate. Olympus is engineered around execution quality and client experience as core infrastructure, not as afterthoughts bolted on once growth demanded it.”
