The readers of Shares Magazine have voted and named CMC Markets as:
  • Best Spread Betting Service for 2011
  • Financial Provider of the Year
The aim of the Shares Magazine awards is to provide investors a voice with which to recognise the highest quality retail investment products and services.

Doug Richards, CEO of CMC Markets, who accepted the awards at Grosvenor House on 10 November 2011 said, "Since we launched, our goal has always been to become the world's leading online financial services business.

“This accolade reflects our efforts to respond to the needs of our clients, bringing them the best possible trading experience through award winning education and innovative technology.

“Of course, we will not stop here. We will continue to listen to our clients and deliver what they ask for to the highest possible standard."

Best Spread Betting Service of 2011

Russ Mould, Shares Magazine editor, said: "To win one of these awards is difficult but to win this one is particularly difficult because it is based upon the number of votes collected across all of our award categories.

"The CMC offering has prevailed yet again following its victories in 2010 when the firm scooped both Best Spread Betting Service and Best Investor Education.

“Our readership is well informed, market facing and highly demanding. To consistently win trophies is a huge compliment."
