The platform, launched 26 August, combines advanced charting tools, customisable analytics, and real-time execution with Asia Securities’ award winning research, offering a seamless and sophisticated trading experience for local investors.

Speaking at the launch, Asia Securities Chairman, Dumith Fernando said, “Asia Securities is pleased to be the first to introduce such a sophisticated trading platform to Sri Lanka. Athena was designed to deliver both insight and innovation, two of our core values, to our clients. We wanted to go beyond the usual to give you something that brings more sophistication, more analytical insights to your fingertips, and that is what you will find that this tool offers.”

Fernando said that the platform had been in development for over a year and a half, explaining that it was created to bridge a critical gap in the local market. While Sri Lanka had made strides in attracting global investors, he observed that domestic traders still lacked access to the kinds of professional-grade tools available internationally.
