About us
Our History
In 1999, Institute For Innovative Trading AG (IFIT Institute) launched the first online marketplace for electronic IPOs in Switzerland, then still under the former name Capital-Info.Net AG (CIN). Affected by the downturn of stock markets in early 2000, the flow of private equity to smaller firms shrank dramatically, so CIN started licensing its proprietary trading systems to regulated financial institutions.
In 2003, CIN became a technology partner in a joint venture set up for the development and operation of an options-based arbitrage system. In 2005, after successful tests of the new trading software, CIN formed a specialized asset management subsidiary, IFIT Advisory AG (IFIT Advisory). IFIT Advisory uses trading systems developed by IFIT Institute. IFIT Advisory offers asset management service based on automated trading systems to high net worth individuals and institutional investors.
In 2006, CIN was renamed IFIT Institute For Innovative Trading AG in order to better reflect its new core business.
