Vancouver, BC / TheNewswire / September 27, 2018 – ABT Capital Markets Inc., a FinTech company employing Blockchain technology to break down barriers to private market investing, provides an update on the company's progress. ABT Capital is developing a proprietary, compliant Platform that will enable anyone, anywhere to invest in private equity and alternative investments.

“As the pace of change and innovation in global financial technologies continue to accelerate, one of the most exciting  themes is the democratization of investments,” said John Gan, Chairman and CEO of ABT Capital Markets. “Financial opportunities that for decades were only available to a select group can now be made available to a broad-spectrum of investors. In the past six months, ABT has put the building blocks in place to move the company forward to fulfilling our mission.”

ABT Capital Markets was founded with the objective of leading this new wave of innovation, by breaking down long-standing barriers in the financial world. The company is creating a unique investment instrument – Asset Backed Tokens™ – that is transforming investing by providing token holders around the world with the ability to invest in previously unavailable or inaccessible private equity, venture capital and other alternative investments.

Acquires 80% Ownership of Exempt Market Dealer

ABT Capital Markets recently acquired 80% ownership and control of 360 Securities Ltd., a securities dealer that is a registered Exempt Market Dealer with the British Columbia Securities Commission pursuant to National Instrument 31-103. 360 Securities will serve as a cornerstone for the company’s development of a Compliant Fintech Platform that will provide trust and protection for Asset Backed Token™ holders.

Investor In the Leading Canadian Online Equity Crowdfunding Platform

ABT Capital Markets was an early investor in FrontFundr and is the third largest shareholder with the acquisition of shares that have a current fair market value of $1,050,000. FrontFundr is the leading Equity Crowdfunding platform in Canada, connecting investors and entrepreneurs by providing access to traditional early-stage venture investing. Investing in young companies had previously been limited to angel investors, venture capital firms and wealthy individuals. These investors represent only a fraction of the larger investor community who are excited and have the financial means to participate in growing new companies.
