Why investing platforms need to be rebuilt from scratch — Finvasia CEO Tajinder Virk

Retail investing has never been more accessible — but has it actually become fairer?

In this episode of the Gulf Business Podcast, Gareth van Zyl speaks with Tajinder Virk, Co-Founder and Group CEO of Finvasia Group, a former Wall Street hedge fund strategist who has managed multi-billion-dollar portfolios.

Virk explains why many trading platforms are structurally designed to reward activity over discipline, how leverage and complex derivatives work against long-term investors, and why he believes the global brokerage industry needs to be rebuilt from the ground up.

The conversation also explores:

- Why most retail investors lose money
- The conflict of interest at the heart of modern trading platforms
- Why regulation can enable — not stifle — better investing outcomes
- Why the UAE is becoming a global hub for capital markets innovation
- What a truly investment-first platform should look like

Without revealing too much, Virk said his company will be launching a new platform soon which is designed to make international markets accessible to investors worldwide. A waitlist for the app is now live: https://earlyaccess.dealing.com/?ref=pure-wind-1um9
