The platform will launch in the UK in December before rolling out globally over the coming months. Tradu is part of Stratos Group International, LLC ("Stratos"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Jefferies Financial Group Inc. ("Jefferies") (NYSE: JEF).

</p><p>   
Historically, multi-asset trading has involved either having many accounts and mobile apps or using one confusing platform with a disjointed experience for each asset class. Tradu is redefining the trading industry by providing clients with an intuitive and advanced platform with a superior trading experience across each of the tradable markets, all from one portal that can be accessed via a mobile app and web platforms.

</p><p>   
The multi-asset trading platform offers trading in listed equities, cryptocurrency markets and CFD trading, with the ability to apply leverage on stocks, indices, commodities, forex and cryptocurrencies*. In addition to multi-asset trading, Tradu's eWallet* provides clients with the convenience of a virtual and physical debit card as well as seamless transfers between trading and eWallet accounts.

</p><p>   
Tradu combines deep market access, state-of-the-art technology, decades of trading expertise and institutional-level pricing to offer an innovative platform that active traders and investors deserve. Clients can trade a range of assets on both a leveraged and unleveraged basis, with competitive and transparent pricing and personalised support with capable and accessible, human customer service.

</p><p>   Brendan Callan, CEO commented:"Tradu has been built by traders for traders to provide them with the platform they deserve - one that offers access to a variety of markets, all from one seriously powerful, sleek app. Too much of the retail trading industry has focused on gimmicky features, trend-chasing and gamification. Instead, we are laser focused on serving traders' needs, offering aggressively competitive pricing, professional trading tools and a client service team that strives for excellence. Tradu is launching the next evolution of mobile trading to UK clients and will soon be expanding globally."
