Our journey started in the late 80s when we identified a gap in the South African financial marketplace. Sharenet became the first ever vendor of JSE prices via the Internet, which then shaped the whole industry. Motivated by our passion for quality and innovation we developed a platform with high quality, easily accessible, accurate financial information available to the public on a subscription basis. Sharenet became a market leader, innovator and a trusted service provider. In the decades that followed Sharenet has invested heavily in its technology infrastructure, driven by a commitment to provide traders and investors, both individuals and institutions, with the cutting-edge tools they need, empowering users to take control of their financial prosperity. Sharenet evolved into a world-class financial technology portal, which operates on its own highly sophisticated proprietary developed online trading infrastructure. Never content with the status quo, Sharenet is actively expanding its product and services offering via R&D and business acquisitions. Looking forward:
In 2016 Sharenet evolved further by becoming The Sharenet Group of Companies (PTY) Ltd, with the stated vision of opening up the South African investment market to international investors and the international market to South African investors. Through our value-based culture we create a stronger future every day, empowering people to take control of their financial future and to be their key to investing.
