\u2013 The most affordable and in-depth online investment platform"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Investing in the stock market can be a great way to make money.<\/p>\n<p>However, its inaccessibility has historically been a problem for many prospective investors, as you have had to work through complicated processes involving expensive brokers.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully the Internet has made investing much simpler \u2013 particularly with affordable and in-depth platforms like Mexem.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mexem.co.za\/?utm_source=BusinessTech&amp;utm_medium=December_Article\"

investing<\/h3>\n<p>Mexem Director Itai Liptz said that Mexem is the most affordable online investment platform in South Africa.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn South Africa, fees are very high \u2013 some of the highest in the world,\u201d said Liptz.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re charging 1 dollar in commission when others are charging 20 dollars \u2013 and our service is just as good or even better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added that while Mexem is already the most affordable investment platform in the overpriced market of South Africa, Mexem is still aiming to make investing even more affordable for customers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the US, many brokers have made their investment platforms zero-commission services,\u201d said Liptz.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s where the world is going, and we hope to achieve this in 2020.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Global reach<\/h3>\n<p>Liptz said that the reason Mexem can undercut the South African market is because it has global reach and backing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are in 52 different countries including various emerging markets like South Africa,\u201d said Liptz.<\/p>\n<p>Liptz said that Mexem has found that it is more expensive to invest in developing markets than in developed ones.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s absurd \u2013 those that can afford less are forced to pay more,\u201d said Liptz.<\/p>\n<p>Mexem is backed by the United States\u2019 largest trading platform, Interactive Brokers, which means that it has phenomenal reach, features, and opportunities that other platforms can\u2019t access.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">SignalsBank<\/h3>\n<p>Liptz also highlighted a new feature that is being introduced by Mexem called SignalsBank.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith this feature, you will be able to follow experienced traders\u2019 live accounts,\u201d said Liptz.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you don\u2019t know how to trade, and if you want to learn \u2013 Mexem clients will be able to follow these investors automatically.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>All investors who can be followed will be verified by Mexem to ensure that those following the investors aren\u2019t misled by someone with poor investing knowledge.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mexem.co.za\/?utm_source=BusinessTech&amp;utm_medium=December_Article\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Click here to learn more about
