About Directa SIM SPA

Directa SIM S.p.A. is an Italian online brokerage and investment-services company listed on Borsa Italiana (FTSE MIB). Headquartered in Turin, Italy, the company is positioned as a digital broker focused on order execution, brokerage and self-directed investing. Founded in Turin in 1995, Directa describes itself as a pioneer of online trading in Italy and has built its brand around speed, transparency, and technology-led access to financial markets. The company’s core business is the receipt, transmission and execution of orders across a broad range of financial instruments. Its offering includes equities, bonds, currencies, ETFs and selected crypto-linked products, with a platform suite designed to address different investor profiles. Directa’s main interfaces include Classic, dLite, Darwin and dPro, allowing it to serve both novice investors looking for simplicity and more advanced traders seeking richer tools and greater control. The group also emphasizes services tailored to the Italian tax environment, including the administered-tax regime, which simplifies tax handling for clients, as well as local customer support based in Italy. In competitive terms, Directa is a specialist pure-play online broker rather than a universal bank. That focus is a key differentiator: the company markets internally developed technology, competitive pricing, and a user experience centered on direct market access. Its historical presence in Italy gives it strong brand recognition within a niche but growing segment of retail investing. Directa competes with domestic banks, specialist brokers and international trading platforms, but its local regulatory positioning, Italian language support and long-standing market presence remain important advantages. The company is supervised by CONSOB and the Bank of Italy and is a member of the Italian National Guarantee Fund. Recent developments have reinforced the growth story. Directa reported record 2025 results, with intermediation income and net profit reaching new highs, while the client base and customer assets continued to expand into early 2026. In April 2026, shareholders approved the 2025 accounts, a dividend of EUR 0.60 per share, and a reduction in board size. For equity investors, Directa stands out as a specialized growth stock linked to retail trading activity, market volatility and the continuing shift of Italian savers toward self-directed investing on Borsa Italiana (FTSE MIB).
