Alibaba was established in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China, in 1999. It was initially created as a China-based B2B marketplace site by Jack Ma, the group’s former CEO and current chairman, along with 17 of his closest friends. The company’s first capital came from Goldman Sachs (GS) and SoftBank who invested $5 million and $20 million respectively.

The business achieved profitability for the first time in 2002. From 2003 onward, Alibaba launched its famous Taobao Marketplace, Alipay, Alimama.com and Lynx.

Throughout its history, the firm has made a number of acquisitions to diversify its business portfolio and expand its market presence.

Singapore-based Lazada Group SA was one of the biggest Alibaba Group acquisitions. Alibaba took control of the company in April 2016 in a $1 billion deal with its founder, Rocket Internet, followed by another $1 billion in June 2017. In March 2018, the business announced that it would invest an additional $2 billion in Lazada, adding to an 83 per cent stake in the firm.

Today, Alibaba Group owns and operates a diverse array of businesses in numerous sectors worldwide.

JEYAKUMAR

great app, love the weekly and monthly insights, and review they send about my trading habits. spread for gold is usually 0.3 but at times fluctuates up to 0.9 this often makes it hard trading on the low time frames and not losing my position to spread even if my bias was correct, if the spread was better I'd give 5 star.

chris hoeben

Capital.com is the best broker of all time and I Should give it five stars but there is a small issue about execution of my orders through traddingview it is a bit slow. But the execution of orders directly from the capital.com App or Website is absolutely fast and apart from that everything is simple incredible.
