About Darwinex

Founded in 2012, Darwinex is a Fintech company that cultivates independent trading talent, operating an FCA-regulated broker and asset manager to help traders turn their skills into investable assets. Led by brothers Juan and Javier Colón (and backed by Tickmill and The Trading Pit founder Illimar Mattus, via his Estonia based investment company Pinorena Capital), the ecosystem includes Darwinex Zero, a subscription-based initiative that allows traders to build an auditable track record and access investor capital using virtual funds, without ever risking their own personal wealth. This unique “meritocratic funnel” ensures that capital allocation is based purely on skill and discipline, regardless of background or wealth.

Darwinex recently reported that its flagship strategy, INDX, has surpassed $12 million in AuM, delivering a year-to-date return of +24% (gross). Its track record is verifiable on Bloomberg (Ticker: CH1403552396).
