Alec Beasley is the co-founder and CEO of Investa, the UK’s first zero-commission options trading app. He spent over three years on Citi’s Equity Derivatives Sales desk, where he facilitated mostly options trades for institutional clients. His motivation to launch Investa came from his own experience struggling to access the options market as a retail investor. Alec’s aim is to make vanilla options on stocks, ETFs, and indices more accessible to UK traders. Outside of work, he’s a committed football fan with more injuries than trophies - and an optimistic but below-average skier.
