Bolsamania, a Spanish stock market news outlet, has published an analytical article by Pedro Santa Cruz, director of Freedom24 Spain, on how the ‘S&P Seven’ are reshaping the US equity market. The term refers to seven major US technology companies Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, Nvidia, and Tesla, which together represent more than a third of the S&P 500, raising important questions about diversification and real market exposure for global investors. 📈 Pedro Santa Cruz notes that this reflects a structural change in the US stock market. As he explains, "The index's evolution shows the extent to which market performance increasingly depends on a very small number of companies, which necessitates a more detailed analysis of portfolio exposure." According to the analysis, this level of concentration makes the S&P 500 less representative of the broader US economy and more dependent on a handful of large technology companies. 📊 The article also highlights the implications for international and Spanish savers, whose portfolios are increasingly exposed to the US market through global funds and ETFs. As Pedro Santa Cruz points out, "The S&P 500 has ceased to be, in practice, a broad reflection of the US economy, becoming instead an index heavily influenced by the giants of the sector." He concludes that understanding the real weight of these companies is now a key part of risk management, rather than simply tracking headline index performance. ⚖️ 🔗 Read more on Bolsamania

Börse München, the finance and investment news platform of the Munich Stock Exchange, has published a market commentary by Dominik Mayr, Director of Freedom24 Germany on how the fast growing Longevity Trend is shaping new opportunities for investors. With rising interest from the Silicon Valley and PwC forecasting a market volume of more than €38 billion by 2030, Dominik explains why this development matters not only for biotechnology but also for long-term portfolio strategy. 📈 Dominik highlights that the longevity segment is among the fastest-growing biotechnology sectors and notes that most innovation happens at the intersection of cell technology, epigenetics, and artificial intelligence to significantly extend the healthy lifespan. While the industry is still in an early phase, he points out that "for investors, this means high return potential, but also a lengthy ‘package insert’ with risks due to clinical trials and regulatory developments." 🧬 Key companies discussed in the piece include Recursion Pharmaceuticals with its AI-driven drug-development platform, Geron Corporation with its approved cancer therapy Rytelo, and Voyager Therapeutics, which is working on treatments for neurodegenerative diseases. The analysis further considers Denali Therapeutics, PacBio, Anika Therapeutics, Ocugen, and ITeos Therapeutics, as well as funds and ETFs such as the SPDR Fund, the ARK Genomic Revolution ETF, and the iShares Nasdaq Biotechnology ETF. In conclusion, Dominik outlines how the Longevity Trend may translate into a long-term investment strategy: "We are currently witnessing the emergence of a new industry in which initial successes could generate a market capitalization of several billion euros. For conservative investors, it is advisable to hold 5 to 10 percent of their portfolio in ETFs and large pharmaceutical companies. For more aggressive investors, it is advisable to open selective positions in promising biotech companies." 🔗 Read more on Börse München

Capital, a French economics and business news platform, has published a market commentary featuring Thomas Jaquet, director of Freedom24 France, who examines the recent downturn in Rheinmetall’s share price and the factors driving investor caution. This update is important for anyone following the European defense sector, which has seen sharp movements amid shifting geopolitical expectations. In the article, Thomas notes that recent momentum reveals several weaknesses that investors must take into account. He mentions the current geopolitical situation, where "the peace factor is already a factor," and explains that expectations around de-escalation have weighed heavily on defense stocks. Thomas also points to valuation concerns, noting that Rheinmetall shares "are trading at 76 to 77 times estimated earnings (over 12 months), compared to around 31 for the sector. This is an unusual valuation for an industrial company, even one experiencing strong growth." 📊 He adds that growth now depends primarily on European programs, which remain tied to political cycles and ESG constraints. In the short term, Thomas warns that the risk of a downward correction remains high for Rheinmetall shares, even as the company maintains strong fundamentals supported by a large order book and solid revenue growth with clear visibility for the coming years. From a technical perspective, “a break below €1,430 would open the way to a pullback towards €900 to €1,000. To regain upward momentum, the share price would need to climb sustainably above €1,750-€1,800, then break through €2,000,” the expert believes. Looking ahead, Thomas notes that the market is reassessing short term risks while keeping long term drivers in view. As he explains, “A swift peace and a reduction in European budgets could trigger a further contraction of multiples. But the market still considers the NATO rearmament cycle to be a long-term commitment. Rheinmetall is thus going through a recalibration phase: high short-term risk, but intact structural potential. Rheinmetall shares appear to be an opportunity for gradual entry rather than aggressive buying.” 🇪🇺 🔗 Read more on Capital

Tradernet, the technological platform of Freedom24, has received the Excellence in Challenger Banking Innovation Europe 2025 award from International Business Magazine. This recognition highlights the strength of our approach to building secure, high-performance fintech solutions that help investors access major US, European and Asian exchanges with confidence and ease. 🌍 In the cover story interview to International Business Magazine, Bulat Latypov, Chief Communications Officer at Freedom24, spoke about the philosophy behind Tradernet and why simplicity matters for every investor. He said: “Simplicity reduces mistakes, lowers anxiety and helps investors stay disciplined. We’ve built Tradernet so that a first-time user can open an account, explore markets and place a trade confidently, while power users find the depth they expect. Multilingual client support and local presence across Europe mean we meet clients where they are, in their language and time zone. The mobile app mirrors the web experience—research, watchlists, alerts and execution—so people can act with the same clarity on the go. In short: one account, one experience, everywhere.” 📈 This award also reflects our broader commitment to supporting clients on their investment journey. In the interview, Bulat shared practical guidance for those seeking passive income, emphasising the importance of clear goals and a strong foundation. He said: “For many investors, a disciplined, diversified core, often through broad market ETFs, paired with a modest satellite of convictions, is a sensible foundation. Reinvest income until you need it; automate contributions to remove timing bias; and review allocations a few times a year rather than reacting to headlines daily. Education is part of the journey: use Freedom24 Academy to build confidence, and remember that capital is at risk, consistency and diversification tend to beat heroics over time.” 🔗 Read more on International Business Magazine

Warsaw Business Journal, a publication covering business, finance, law, technology and the economy across Poland and Central and Eastern Europe, featured Freedom Holding Corp. Founder and CEO Timur Turlov in the cover interview of its monthly magazine. The conversation explored the company’s global growth, its fintech and banking ecosystem, technological innovation, the development of Freedom24 in Europe and Poland, and the broader forces shaping today’s financial markets. 📈 Speaking about Freedom Holding Corp.’s global approach, Timur Turlov shared his mindset on strategy: "My perspective is that you have to compete globally if you don’t want to lose locally. This is our biggest goal, and the newest solutions are just the next steps in achieving it. I believe we’ve been doing rather good so far." In the interview, he explained how this view guides the company’s expansion across continents and supports its focus on service quality, innovation and the long-term development of its international ecosystem. 🌍 He also reflected on what it means to build a worldwide brand in a rapidly changing fintech landscape. Highlighting both the opportunities and competitive pressures, he stated: "The worst threat to a worldwide brand, which Freedom Holding has become, is lagging behind competitors not only the local ones in each country, but also those operating globally. It shouldn’t strive only to follow trends, but to actively shape them. To do that in fintech, you need to have ready solutions, proven in different scenarios and easily scalable." This perspective shows the company’s commitment to developing technology that is adaptable and prepared for diverse regulatory and market environments. ⚙️ An important part of Timur Turlov’s leadership philosophy that also came up in the interview is his passion for chess. He explained how the game influences his approach to business, saying: "Beyond strategy, chess teaches resilience and adaptability. I try to spread my passion for chess through Freedom, because I believe that nurturing these values at the same time promotes entrepreneurship and innovation." Today, this passion extends into Freedom Holding Corp.’s growing support for the chess community, including partnerships with international federations and sponsored events. ♟ 🔗 Read more on Warsaw Business Journal

The Financial Times Global Banking Summit is a major banking conference held annually in London, bringing together global banking leaders to discuss the future of financial services in 2026 and beyond. This year, Freedom Holding Corp. joined as a lead sponsor, and two of the company’s senior executives contributed to the discussions alongside top managers from HSBC, Barclays, Goldman Sachs, and J.P. Morgan. 🌐 Timur Turlov, CEO of Freedom Holding Corp., joined the session "The Future of Banking Infrastructure – Can Legacy Systems Survive?" where he emphasised the importance of developing strong internal technological infrastructure and moving quickly in digital transformation. Discussing this topic alongside representatives from Commerzbank and Reply, he said: "From the very beginning, we built the company on the principles of rapid change: we test, launch, adjust, and implement again – and we're not afraid of mistakes, because without them, innovation is impossible. We're inspired by this dynamic. Perhaps because we've always strived to change established processes with fewer resources and capital than major market players." 💡 At another session titled "Operational AI – Where Banks Are Seeing Real Impact," Renat Tukanov, Chief Technology Officer at Freedom Holding Corp., discussed the practical implementation of AI across banking processes, including automation and digital mortgages. He noted: "According to recent estimates, we have implemented approximately 70 different AI initiatives. Overall, we see a significant impact of AI on operational processes, especially in banking, including customer scoring, service quality assessment, and other key metrics. Of course, there's a lot of buzz around this topic, and sometimes it's worth following trends, but the most important thing is practical benefit." The discussion also brought in perspectives from experts at Boston Consulting Group and TD Bank, who contributed to a broader look at how AI is being adopted across the industry. Participating in the Summit was an opportunity for our parent company, Freedom Holding Corp., to contribute its experience to a broader dialogue on where global finance is heading and what it will take to build sustainable, future-ready systems prepared for the next decade.

Cash., a German publication specialising in finance and trade news, has published an exclusive guest article by Dominik Mayr, Director of Freedom24 Germany. In his commentary, Dominik addresses a topic that concerns many: whether it still makes sense to start investing for retirement at 50 and beyond. Drawing on current research, he highlights that more than half of Germans expect their retirement savings to fall short, with 54% of people aged 50+ anticipating a pension gap of at least ten years. With Germany’s homeownership rate significantly below the EU average, many cannot rely on rental income or rent-free living later in life. For this reason, Dominik points to the stock market, particularly broad indices like the S&P 500, as a realistic alternative for long-term financial planning, even with a later entry. Historical data shows that consistent investing over 10–15 years can still build meaningful capital and help close individual pension gaps. In the second half of life, however, portfolio structure becomes especially important. Dominik outlines a clear approach: shifting part of the capital into more defensive investments five years before retirement, maintaining a liquidity buffer to avoid forced sales in weak markets, and balancing growth with stability through a mix of equities, dividend stocks, bonds, and real-asset exposure. This strategy supports sustainable withdrawals in line with the well-known 3–4% rule, a guideline suggesting that retirees can withdraw around 3–4% of their invested capital annually while keeping their assets sustainable for decades. His conclusion is both realistic and encouraging: while earlier market entry is always preferable, a late start can still pay off with discipline, thoughtful asset allocation, and a clear focus on financial security. With informed decisions, sound financial planning is possible at any point in life 🌱 Read more on Cash.
