In this interview from Sydney, Andrew Saks speaks with Jeremy Kintslinger, CEO of Afterprime, about why the most interesting growth in the market is happening where execution quality, cost transparency, and trader alignment meet.
Jeremy gives his view of the relationship between client, venue and brokerage, with a focus on serving traders who are highly cost-sensitive and want a structure that better reflects how they actually trade.
Why this conversation matters
This discussion goes beyond the usual broker talking points. Jeremy explains why prop trading has become so compelling, especially for traders who want access to a funded account without risking the same level of personal capital they might have put at stake in a traditional CFD setup.
The interview also digs into the economics behind brokerage models, including why a $500 trader can be uneconomical for some firms, and why many brokers are now rethinking client acquisition, profitability, and long-term alignment.
Key Themes:
- A different brokerage model. Afterprime’s approach is built around alignment and transparent execution rather than legacy incentives.
- Prop trading and funding pathways. The conversation explores why challenge-based, funded-trader models have grown so quickly.
- Serving serious traders. The interview highlights the importance of reaching traders who are highly cost-sensitive and understand every pip matters.
- Revenue and ethics. Andrew and Jeremy discuss how firms can stay profitable without losing sight of fairness and trader experience.
You’ll hear about:
- How brokerage models are evolving.
- Why prop shops have become so popular.
- The balance between ethical business models and sustainable revenue.
- How traders can build skills in a more structured environment.
