No findings, full confidence

Trading platforms have developed from niche tools for professionals into widespread gateways for everyday investors. But as access has increased, so have the risks. In this crowded, often chaotic space, Eklavya Asset Managers offers a different kind of proposition: safety education and transparency, which are packaged into one of the country’s most thoughtfully designed trading platforms to date.

Welcome to SolisMarkets, a digital trading platform built to enable trades and empower investors. Launched under Eklavya’s existing Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) license, FSP 45583, SolisMarkets results from a decade-long philosophy centred on clarity, accountability, and client confidence.

“SolisMarkets was never meant to be just another app,” says Dustan Cornelissen, Managing Director of Eklavya Asset Managers. “We’ve always believed that education and protection should come standard. That belief is now built into every line of code.”

A Platform That Doesn’t Just Trade It Teaches and Protects

For first-time investors, the digital trading world can feel like a high-speed highway without a seatbelt. That’s why SolisMarkets begins with a structured onboarding experience with trial-period safeguards. New users who incur losses during their initial trades can recover up to 50 percent, a rare layer of protection aimed at minimising early mistakes and encouraging smarter engagement.

Beyond safety nets, the platform introduces a robust educational ecosystem. Through partnerships with TipRanks and Traders, Education users can access tailored learning modules, webinars, and real-time briefings that make trading less about guesswork and more about strategy. Whether managing equities, currency pair, or alternative assets, traders never operate in the dark.

Most importantly, SolisMarkets is not a faceless interface. A licensed support team helps users understand the market, develop strategies, and calibrate risk profiles. It is a hands-on advisory model that blends high-touch service with the convenience of tech.

Regulation With Real Meaning

In a market increasingly wary of unregulated platforms, SolisMarkets’ FSCA backing offers more than a compliance checkbox; it’s a competitive edge. Every transaction, client interaction, and educational touchpoint undergoes review against regulatory requirements.

Eklavya’s commitment to transparency extends beyond platform design. Late last year, the company underwent an FSCA regulatory review, which was standard and widely misinterpreted after a brief notice appeared in a third-party outlet, Moonstone. That article still created confusion and fueled speculation. After concluding the investigation, the FSCA removed the notice from its site, but did not issue a public statement confirming what Eklavya now states plainly: there were no findings, no penalties, and no wrongdoing.

“We were fully cleared,” Cornelissen affirms. “We cooperated at every stage. But the absence of a public update left room for doubt, and in a trust-driven industry, that matters. We’re addressing it because our clients deserve clarity.”

A Future-Focused Financial Experience

The launch of SolisMarkets represents more than a product release; it reflects Eklavya’s long-standing mission to democratise financial growth while keeping investor protection central. According to FSCA data, retail investor activity in South Africa surged by 23 percent between 2023 and 2024, highlighting the need for tools that combine access with accountability.

Eklavya plans to expand SolisMarkets across the SADC region, beginning with Namibia later this year. Future updates will include more customisable risk controls, multilingual educational content, and deeper integration with wealth-building services for long-term investors.

“This is not about hype,” Cornelissen says. “It’s about building something that endures. SolisMarkets serves people who want to grow their money without compromising security or values.”

Confidence Not Speculation

For more than a decade, Eklavya Asset Managers has guided clients through portfolio construction, market shifts, and life milestones. That same measured, informed, and principled ethos exists within SolisMarkets.

In a world of overpromises and underregulation, it is refreshing to see a firm fulfil its word and license. SolisMarkets now welcomes South African investors seeking more than just another trading app. It serves those who want confidence, not just access.
