Freetrade CEO departs post-IG acquisition
Viktor Nebehaj will step down as CEO of Freetrade this summer after nearly a decade with the company. Nebehaj, who co-founded the commission-free investment platform, said it felt like the right time to take a break after years of building the business.
His departure follows IG Group’s £160 million acquisition of Freetrade last year, a deal financed through IG’s existing capital. Despite the takeover, Freetrade continues to operate as a standalone brand. Over his tenure, Nebehaj held several key roles, including Chief Operating Officer, Chief Marketing Officer, and Head of Growth.
