In every multi-bagger story, a moat is an essential aspect of the thesis. What's the moat of this business exactly? The introducer model does not feel like one to me.

If the introducer model is so good and scalable, why would other maybe even larger FX players in the space not be able to replicate the same model? I could imagine a race to the bottom in terms of compensation for introducers.

Anyways elaboration around this topic would be very helpful.

Hey, thanks for your comment. I think, speaking about a real Moat in a sub $50m market cap stock, is almost a contradiction itself. Sure, in theory, other FX companies could do the same approach, but for most it would make sense, because their whole structure is not optimized for that approach. Rather than looking for Moat per se, I’d like to look at companies to find something "unique" that is valued by customers - In Cornerstone, I see a unique approach, that I valued by their customers (increase in average transaction sizes) and a great Management.
