The technology is also available as mobile apps and helps users trade in markets around the clock, across the world’s main exchanges and forex over-the-counter venues such as Singapore, Hong Kong, Tokyo, New York, Paris and London. Mobile apps are gaining ground, cutting into the competitive wealth management industry, Gupta said.
