eToro Launches its Social Investment Platform in Spain

BARCELONA, Spain, October 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

    Special event to present the benefits of copy-trading.

    eToro, the leading social investment network, announced today the official launch of
its service in Spain. eToro OpenBook(TM) has been fully localized to support Spanish and
will enable the already thousands of active Spanish traders and investors on eToro to
experience the full benefits and advantages of trading and investing in a social, open and
transparent market place.

    To kick off the launch eToro has organized for October 10th, 2012 a user and PR
conference in Barcelona, Spain to present eToro OpenBook(TM) to its Spanish user base and
the Spanish press. As a special treat eToro has invited a highly ranked local Spanish Guru
Trader, also known under the eToro username "Malsolo
[http://openbook.etoro.com/malsolo#/stats ]" (http://openbook.etoro.com/malsolo#/stats)
to attend this conference.

    Malsolo will take centre stage at the conference and share his experience of how he
transformed from a good trader into a Guru Trader on the eToro investment network with
over 5,000 people copying all his trades. At the age of 28, Malsolo is today one of the
most successful Gurus on eToro and in terms of clients probably one of the largest
investment houses in Spain.

    eToro's award-winning CopyTrader(TM) technology enables users to harness the wisdom of
the crowds to form better investment decisions. By quickly identifying top performing
traders and investors (Gurus) within the eToro investment network, users are able to copy
all the Guru's trading actions directly into their own account and link themselves to the
performance of all their copied Gurus. It enables users to easily create their own
people-based portfolio of top performing traders, whereas people themselves are now
transformed into the traded investment instrument.

    "Spain is for us a strategic market, we believe that the success of social trading and
investing will quickly spread in the Spanish market after people become aware of the
advantages to trade and invest in a truly open and transparent market place," explains
Johnathan Assia, CEO and Founder at eToro, "by bringing one of our most successful Gurus
face to face with our users we are bridging the gap between the real and online world.
Investing is all about trust and keeping everything transparent, like adding a real face
to our Gurus, is key to further strengthen the trust with our users."
