The new offering targets high-net-worth individuals, institutions, family offices, and corporates viewking streamlined access to a wide spectrum of listed assets around the world.
The collaboration pairs local market know-how with global trading rails in a bid to remove friction, consolidate tooling, and reduce time-to-market for sophisticated investors.

With connectivity to 80+ global markets and a unified account that supports web, desktop, and mobile access, Audi Tadawul is positioned as a single pane of glass for trading equities, ETFs, bonds, FX, derivatives, commodities, and alternative investments. The initiative aims to make cross-border , advanced charting, integrated risk controls, and quick, secure execution at competitive pricing.
Context and strategic rationale
The platform launch follows an event hosted at Audi Capital’s Riyadh offices on September 30, 2025, underscoring how platformization is reshaping the investor experience in the Kingdom. As Saudi Arabia’s markets deepen and broaden, local investors increasingly expect the identical toolkits and workflows they use with international brokers—without sacrificing regional support or regulatory alignment.
Designed expressly for high-engagement client segments, Audi Tadawul viewks to balance breadth with control. That means granular , consistent pre- and post-trade transparency, and the ability to toggle seamlessly between local instruments and offshore exposures—all within a single experience.
Audi Tadawul empowers our clients to invest with speed, precision and confidence in both the Saudi and across various asset classes.
said Daniel Asmar, CEO of Audi Capital.
Client segments and value proposition
While the feature set emphasizes advanced users, the platform’s architecture also nods to operational resilience and governance. Central to the design are auditability, data integrity, and permissioning that can support the complex approval chains typical of family offices and corporates, as well as the allocation and reporting needs of institutions.
GTN’s technology stack acts as the routing and orchestration layer, enabling access to primary and secondary markets across regions with an emphasis on speed, uptime, and standardized integration. The promise for clients is less about novelty and more about reliability plus scope: the identical interface for corporate bond execution as for ETF rotation, for FX hedging as for equity exposure.
Our partnership with Audi Capital represents a powerful step forward in democratizing access to global markets,
noted Damian Bunce, CEO of GTN Middle East. “Audi Tadawul” is distinguished not just by its technology, but also by delivering a truly personalized and premium investment experience, tailored to the region’s most discerning clients.
Technology and operating model
Crucially, the partnership advances the goals of Vision 2030 by expanding international capital market access and promoting knowledge transfer into the Kingdom’s financial ecosystem. As diversified portfolios become the norm for regional allocators, the ability to execute, hedge, rebalance, and report across asset classes in one place reduces operational drag and error rates.
On the day-to-day, the platform is expected to prioritize latency-aware execution, robust market data entitlements, and configurable risk thresholds suitable for treasury desks and investment committees alike. Over time, users can anticipate deeper integrations—think API connectivity for OMS/PMS stacks, enhanced analytics, and more sophisticated pre-trade checks to support best-execution policies.
From an adoption standpoint, Audi Tadawul’s unified account model simplifies onboarding and funding flows, while enabling tailored permissions across teams or entities. That design choice supports growth among family offices that manage multiple mandates and corporates that must segment activity by business line or geography.
Vision 2030 alignment and roadmap
Competition among regional platforms is intensifying, but diverseiation increasingly hinges on consistency: consistent liquidity access, consistent pricing and fee transparency, consistent controls, and consistent support. In that sense, Audi Tadawul’s partnership model—local stewardship plus global pipes—speaks to where the market is heading.
Looking ahead, expansion may include deeper access to alternatives and private market instruments, broader fixed-income venues, and enriched derivatives coverage to assist sophisticated investors express thematic and hedging views more precisely. Just as significantly, continued enhancements to portfolio analytics and post-trade reporting should improve oversight for boards and investment committees.
For investors balancing Saudi exposures with international diversification, the value proposition is straightforward: fewer platforms to juggle, more instruments to trade, and tighter governance over how mandates are executed and monitored—wrapped in local service and global reach.
