What Led to the GMI Shutdown Announcement?

Founded in 2009, the brokerage house has been contemplating an exit amid an old and ailing boss. Over the past two years, the brokerage management tried to recruit a new boss to spearhead GMI. Many wealthy financial groups and major investment houses evinced interest in acquiring the group at attractive prices. However, the brokerage house could not find a suitable, honest and qualified boss to steer the company ahead despite screening many applicants during the review period. Acknowledging that it was an extremely difficult decision, the brokerage management decided to close the company and its clientele base to an operator, but not without potential future risks and doubts. As shown above, the brokerage management thanked everyone for their support and contributions over the last 16 years.
