UK based online broker CMC Markets plc (LONCMCX) has announced that it hired Frankfurt based Andreas Lipkow as Chief Market Analyst for the DACH region (Germany, Austria, and Switzerland). Andreas Lipkow, who brings 30 years of stock market experience, will regularly comment on and analyze the financial markets and make this information available exclusively to CMC Markets clients.

Having learned the ropes of stock trading at the Frankfurt Stock Exchange from the ground up, his focus, in addition to the fundamental and technical analysis of currencies, cryptocurrencies, commodities, bonds, and global stock markets, lies on computer-based trading and digitalization. As a well-known and highly respected capital markets expert, Lipkow will now represent CMC Markets with his insights in the media and to the public.

Christine Romar, Head of Europe at CMC Markets said,

“With Andreas Lipkow, we are bringing on board a seasoned expert in the financial markets who will share his experience with our clients through practical guidance, equipping them for successful trading. This not only demonstrates once again our commitment to education and service for our clients, but the successful author of books on strategies across all asset classes is also the ideal partner on our journey to becoming a multi-asset broker.”

Andreas Lipkow joins from Comdirect, where he held a similar position for almost ten years. From 2012 to 2016, he was Managing Director of a proprietary asset management firm focused on computer-aided trading, where he was responsible for the strategic direction and continuous development of fully automated trading systems. Lipkow is a sought-after speaker and seminar leader on finance, trading, and investment topics and regularly hosts a stock market podcast. He also runs a YouTube channel with content on investing, trading, and financial products. As a lecturer at the Frankfurt School of Finance & Management, the financial market expert imparts practical knowledge of the stock market, investment strategies, and risk management to students. In 2014, his first book on finance, Successful Strategic Investing: Your Uncomplicated Path to Stock Market Success, was published.

Andreas Lipkow said of his new role at CMC,

“For over 30 years, I have been trading stocks, bonds, derivatives, and other financial products. As a trader and market maker, including at the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, I gained my experience during a turbulent time with the Asian financial crisis, the bursting of the dot-com bubble, the US subprime mortgage crisis, and the Eurozone crisis. The stock market has been my passion ever since, and I now want to share it with CMC Markets’ clients so that they can be empowered to trade successfully on the stock market with their individual investment strategies.”
