Virtu Wealth Academy: A High-Frequency Trading Giant

WONZ Technology Debuts at IFA: Innovative Solution for Sleep Problems, Wellness, and More

-- Virtu Financial, Inc., a high-frequency trading giant headquartered in New York, has been active in global capital markets since its listing on Nasdaq in 2015. The company’s founder, Vincent Viola, a former chairman of the New York Mercantile Exchange, is also the owner of the Florida Panthers hockey team. With its strong technological capabilities, Virtu had already ranked among the top five high-frequency trading firms in Europe by 2011.

Today, Virtu’s business footprint spans 36 countries and regions worldwide, covering more than 235 exchanges, markets, and over-the-counter platforms, including NYSE Euronext, Nasdaq, and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. As a designated market maker for the New York Stock Exchange and NYSE American, Virtu provides liquidity for more than 12,000 securities and financial instruments, making it an indispensable player in the market.

“Wealth Academy” Launches in Sweden

To further expand into the Nordic market and attract more institutional and individual investors, Virtu introduced the “Virtu Wealth Academy” series of events in Sweden in 2024, holding two sessions each year.

In January 2025, the first session of the “Wealth Academy” was successfully held in Sweden, with participating individual investors achieving returns of over 450%. Building on this success, Virtu plans to launch the second session in October 2025, with expected returns ranging from 450% to 600%. Preparations for the event are currently well underway.

Macroeconomic Environment and Investment Opportunities

It is worth noting that this program is not merely an investment education initiative but also a crucial opportunity to respond to global macroeconomic changes. On September 18, 2024, the Federal Reserve announced a sharp rate cut of 50 basis points—its first in four years—lowering the target rate range to 4.75%–5%.

Since March 2022, the United States had raised interest rates 11 consecutive times to curb inflation, keeping rates within the 5.25%–5.5% range as of July 2023. With this latest cut, the Fed’s shift in monetary policy is bound to trigger ripple effects on Sweden’s interest rates, which are closely tied to the U.S. dollar. Meanwhile, the implementation of “Trump Trade Policy 2.0” and the introduction of higher tariffs are also regarded as key variables affecting the Swedish market.

Analysts point out that at such a turning point, Virtu Wealth Academy is not only a platform for investors to learn and enhance their skills but also a frontline arena for capturing new opportunities in Sweden’s capital markets.

Virtu Financial is leveraging its market-making experience and technological advantages in global markets to accelerate its expansion into the Nordic region. With the second session of the Wealth Academy approaching, Swedish investors are set to embrace a noteworthy capital market practice opportunity against the backdrop of major macroeconomic shifts.
