Japanese firms have been slow to expand their global operation, even as regulations in their country have put a clamp on profit margins. Although, we are beginning to see a trickle of expansion take place, namely with this move and an earlier announcement that GMO Click was opening a London based office. In terms of Australia, brokers in the country have benefitted from an increase of Japanese traders opening accounts as restrictions on trading conditions have caused them to look overseas. As such, the arrival of Invast in Australia could be also seen as an opportunity for the firm to also attract traders from its Japanese home base.

Commenting on the launch in the company's statement, Gunn stated “we have more than 50 years of being a leader in our space – the result of a strong company culture based on high standards, integrity and precision in delivering products and services to our clients. We will build on this heritage to grow our presence in Australia and then in other international markets”
