GMO Click cited the reason for the amendment as an attempt to further accelerate business development in new financial fields. The rebranding reflects one of GMO’s strongest differentiators; its digital agility to innovate solutions that swiftly and seamlessly offer trading and fintech products that serve clients with a global presence.
Earlier in February, GMO Click and Swiss bank Swissquote announced plans to pioneer their virtual reality (VR) trading apps. The event marks the first attempt to reinvent the trading interface that has been familiar to traders for decades.
Additionally, GMO Click plans to change its fiscal year period to adopt January-December as the new business year, thereby signaling an end to the April-March period used since its inception in 2012.
