Glasstx Capital Announces Global Launch of GFC Quantitative Trading System
Glasstx Capital Announces Global Launch of GFC Quantitative Trading System to Democratize Wealth Management.
Glasstx Capital officially announces the global launch of its GFC Quantitative Trading System, a groundbreaking AI-driven platform set to revolutionize how individuals interact with asset management services.
The announcement was made during an exclusive interview between Lila Greene, host at a leading British broadcasting outlet, and Charles Aldridge, Co-Founder and CEO of Glasstx Capital. In the interview, Aldridge detailed the mission, philosophy, and innovation that drive Glasstx Capital, calling the GFC launch a "new era of financial equality."
'Our goal is to build a financial ecosystem where everyone is treated equally,' said Aldridge. 'We believe financial freedom should be accessible to all—not just the elite few.'
A Mission Beyond Profit
Founded on the principles of professionalism, innovation, and integrity, Glasstx Capital was established to challenge the status quo in wealth management. Aldridge and his team envisioned a model that would disrupt traditional financial systems, which often cater exclusively to high-net-worth individuals while sidelining the average investor.
This vision was met with significant resistance in Glasstx's early years. Many shareholders, focused on traditional profitability metrics, chose to exit the company rather than support Aldridge's mission. Yet those who stayed became the foundation of a community-driven, values-oriented financial institution that is now expanding globally.
'Those were the toughest times,' Aldridge admitted. 'But we stayed true to our founding philosophy—and now we're being rewarded for it.'
GFC: The AI-Powered Revolution
Central to this next phase of growth is the launch of the GFC (Glasstx Financial Core) Quantitative Trading System. Developed after years of research, GFC is designed to eliminate five persistent problems in wealth management:
High commission costs
Service bias linked to lower commissions
Limited access to financial services
Emotional interference in trading
The inability of humans to serve many users at once
By using advanced AI, GFC replaces these limitations with a 24/7 intelligent system that never tires, never discriminates, and never succumbs to psychological error. It enables real-time trading decisions and financial advisory support without the high overhead of human-dependent models.
'The root of these issues was simple: human limitation,' Aldridge explained. 'GFC is the system that fixes that.'
Community Empowerment: Fund Partner Program
In tandem with the GFC launch, Glasstx has introduced its Fund Partner Strategic Plan—a limited program aimed at giving early adopters not just access to the system, but a stake in its future.
Participants in the Fund Partner Program receive exclusive trading trial access, performance-based profit returns, and even the opportunity to subscribe to GFC equity.
'If equity expansion is inevitable, why not let early users become shareholders?' Aldridge said. 'That's how we redefine the user-company relationship.'
The initiative is being met with overwhelming enthusiasm from the Glasstx community, signaling strong alignment between user values and company mission.
Reshaping the Future of Finance
Aldridge believes the GFC system will fundamentally alter the financial services landscape—not by incrementally improving what already exists, but by rebuilding it from the ground up. Glasstx's innovation is not simply technological; it's systemic, sociological, and ethical.
'This isn't just a clash between tradition and technology,' he concluded. 'It's the inevitable direction of financial evolution.'
As Glasstx Capital expands its global footprint and rolls out GFC to wider markets, one thing is clear: this is not just a product launch, but the beginning of a movement toward inclusive, intelligent, and transparent financial empowerment.

Britons aren't having children for one simple reason – they just can't afford it
Nearly half of British adults are putting off or deciding against having children, with money worries a top factor, a stark new poll reveals. A survey of 18 to 50-year-olds from pollsters Ipsos, shared exclusively with The Independent, shows that 44 per cent of adults plan to delay having children, or are deciding against it altogether – with the cost of raising children, including food, clothing and education, cited as the most common reason (39 per cent). And a third of prospective parents said they were put off by the cost of childcare in the UK – despite the government's rollout of extended free nursery hours. While a third of respondents said they weren't having children because they simply didn't want to, others said they were put off by fears over climate change, with worries over how global warming will affect their child's future, and how having children may harm the environment. The poll comes as birth rates in England and Wales are at their lowest rate on record, and as deaths are expected to consistently outnumber births in the UK from 2030. Lord Michael Farmer, a vocal supporter of family stability, criticised the systemic issues underlying low birth rates and argued that parents needed more financial support. 'The UK's tax system discourages childbearing; it is one of the least family-friendly in the OECD. No allowances are made for dependants, so our tax system also disadvantages single parents. The current level of marriage allowance gives scant recognition of low-earning or non-earning second parents,' he said in a House of Lords debate in November. In 2023, more people died than were born in the UK. This gap is only expected to widen between 2030 and 2050, according to projections from the Office for National Statistics (ONS). This means that the majority of population growth is driven by immigration rather than births. Education secretary Bridget Phillipson told The Independent in June that the steep decline in birth rates is 'a big challenge' for the UK, which needs to be addressed. She added: 'I've heard from lots of people that the choices that they wanted to make have been constrained, in terms of when to start a family and how many children they have, by factors like the cost of childcare, housing costs, instability at work.' Fertility rates are shrinking faster than in any other G7 nation, falling by 25 per cent in the UK since 2010. However, women are still having slightly more children on average than those in Japan, Italy and Canada. Despite advancements in flexible working and parental leave, some parents polled said they believed that it is harder to raise children now than in previous generations, with the cost of living and the price of housing increasing beyond pay. The majority of adults (56 per cent) believe it is harder to be a parent in the UK today than 20 years ago, with 61 per cent of women saying it was harder to raise a child now compared to men (52 per cent). And even older generations agreed, with those aged 55 to 75-year-olds the most likely to believe (59 per cent) that parenthood is trickier now than two decades ago. The decline in birth rates has generated much discussion among politicians. Recently, Nigel Farage pledged he would abolish the two-child benefit cap if Reform came into power, as part of a '180-degree shift' to reverse low birth rates. But his stance has not yet fully won over the public, who still trust Labour more than any other party to support parents and families, according to Ipsos' poll. This is in spite of Sir Keir Starmer's refusal to remove the two-child benefit cap, after pledging to reduce child poverty, which sparked public rebellion among Labour MPs. Meanwhile, the Tories are less trusted to support families than both Reform and Labour. The party's current leader, Kemi Badenoch, has previously said she believes maternity pay is 'excessive', and that 'families on benefits should make the same responsible decisions about having children as everyone else'. But more than 1 in 5 people said that they don't trust any major party to support families with their policies. Tackling affordable housing is the most popular policy change, which would lead to people having more children, according to 42 per cent of Ipsos respondents. The cost of renting in Britain has now reached new record highs, according to Rightmove, with average asking rent at £1,365 per month. Meanwhile, fewer young people are buying homes, as housing prices are far outpacing wage growth. Over 1 in 3 adults also believe that making childcare more affordable for parents with preschool children would incentivise more people to have children. The government has rolled out 15 hours of free childcare to children aged nine months to two years old, which from September will be extended to 30 hours of childcare a week. However, recent calculations from the Institute of Fiscal Studies, revealed by The Independent, show that uptake is likely to be 25 per cent higher than expected, and since the number of childcare places has barely increased in recent years, it will be a struggle for many to secure places. Improving access to free nursery hours will no doubt be a welcome move, since full-time childcare on average costs between 37 to 43 per cent of the average income in the UK. Solve the daily Crossword

Free childcare crisis as surge in demand leaves Labour with funding black hole
Ministers have been warned the childcare sector is at risk of 'collapse' after a boom in demand for free care left a major government scheme in financial peril. A plan to expand free childcare for British families is set to cost the government an extra £1bn per year at a time when ministers are grappling to fill the gaping black hole in public finances. Labour has not spelled out how the funding gap will be filled, but experts predict the shortfall will create 'substantial pressure' on the government and could put the entire childcare sector under threat. In an exclusive interview with The Independent, Bridget Phillipson insisted the unexpectedly high take-up – a quarter higher than predicted – was a 'good problem to have' and would not leave children without places. But the education secretary could not guarantee that parents would get a space at their local nursery in September, when the scheme expands to offer eligible children aged nine months and older 30 hours a week of free childcare. Industry leaders said parents would be left 'disappointed' while nurseries warned a lack of staff meant they were already struggling to deliver the government's pledge. Providers warn that the rate at which the government funds places is lower than the costs that they incur - and that greater numbers of government-funded places will reduce their ability to cross-subsidise from private fee payers. CEO of the Early Years Alliance, Neil Leitch, told The Independent: 'One thing is absolutely clear: if 80 per cent of all hours delivered are government hours, and those hours are inadequately funded, the infrastructure will collapse over a period of time. 'I can't say it will be one year or five years, but you can bet your bottom dollar if you don't give somebody enough money to deliver a service, at some point they stop.' Figures published in March show the number of people newly entitled to free childcare was 26 per cent higher than originally estimated – 379,000 compared to 302,000. This meant that the Department for Education spent £2bn on the policy last year, up from a planned £1.6bn. But this is only set to grow as further hours of free childcare are rolled out. According to the highly respected Institute for Fiscal Studies, the cost of extending free childcare to under-3s could end up costing £1bn more a year than previously expected, from 2026/7 onwards – up from around £4bn to approximately £5bn. A boost to funding announced in Rachel Reeves's spending review, of £640m, would 'go some way to filling this gap… [but] could still leave substantial pressure from higher-than-expected take-up', the IFS said. IFS associate director Christine Farquharson said the DfE will still likely face 'difficult choices' within its budget and may have to 'trim back' spending in other areas to meet its childcare commitments. 'They have a fixed pot of money. When one thing becomes more expensive, that puts more pressure on other areas of the [education] budget,' she told The Independent. Ms Farquharson said predictions for how many parents would take up the free hours were 'complex' but added: 'It does seem like [the Tories] underestimated take-up pretty systematically.' It is just one of many financial decisions facing the chancellor ahead of the autumn Budget after planned welfare cuts, aimed at saving £5bn annually, were reversed. Ms Reeves is being pushed to bend her rules on borrowing or to raise taxes to keep public finances on track. The free childcare policy was launched in December 2023 with great fanfare under former Tory chancellor Jeremy Hunt. The first stage was put in place from September 2024, when the government extended 15 hours a week of free term-time childcare to working parents with a child aged nine months and over. From September, that will be extended to 30 hours a week. Labour say they were left a 'pledge without a plan' when they entered government. Ministers have been working to massively expand the number of nursery spaces and staff but the task has been made more difficult by the fact that, unlike schools, many nurseries are private providers. Industry leaders warned that, with 8 in 10 of all nursery hours soon to be paid for by the government, the infrastructure was at risk of 'collapse' without more money. The sector has already been forced to absorb huge additional costs in recent years, including April's national insurance rise, it warned. Childcare in the UK is one of the most expensive in the world, according to the OECD. Mr Leitch added: 'What we have to bear in mind is that we've already got a recruitment and retention crisis. The reality is, many settings don't have the people to be able to accommodate those additional hours. So I'm afraid there will be parents that will be disappointed.' Sarah Ronan, the director of the Early Education and Childcare Coalition, said the IFS was right to sound the alarm, adding that if the government did not match demand with funding it is leaving providers with 'no choice' but to limit the number of places they offer – or raise fees. 'The harsh reality is that if providers don't do that, they'll face closure and then we'll have an even worse crisis on our hands,' she said. Purnima Tanuku, executive chair of the National Day Nurseries Association (NDNA), said the government's ambitions 'will be put at risk if there is not sufficient investment in early years'. She added that 'almost 70 per cent of nurseries told us that staff shortages mean they cannot offer the children's places they have room to deliver'. Munira Wilson, the Lib Dem education spokesperson, said providers had been left 'hanging by a thread and parents [are] facing the prospect of childcare deserts'. 'The government need to ensure that the funding for childcare hours matches the actual costs of delivery,' she said. Official statistics released last week showed a 7.2 per cent increase in early years staff, the largest annual rise since the series began. The Department for Education would not be drawn on where any extra money might come from. But Ms Phillipson insisted she was unafraid of the policy's popularity. She urged families to check what they are entitled to, adding: 'I want as many parents as possible to take up the offer. It allows parents to juggle work and family life, but it also sets up children to succeed. And the demand that parents are showing is a good problem to have, because it also brings economic dividends as well. 'If people are able to work, or work a few more hours… that helps us all as a society as well and it gets economic growth going.' Ms Phillipson has previously warned that, as the policy expands again in September, parents in the first wave might not get their first choice of nursery. Asked if she could say that all parents who want a space would get one, she told The Independent: 'What I can't guarantee is that it will be as close to home as they would like or it will be their first choice, but we're confident that the rollout will go well in September.' Ms Farquharson did add that the higher uptake of free childcare could ultimately be a good sign for the economy, even if it is more expensive in the short-term. 'This higher uptake might mean that we're getting a lot more parents moving into paid work because of these entitlements than first predicted,' she said. 'If the goal for this policy is to drive growth, then this would be a fantastic success story.' However, the extent to which that is the case will only become apparent over the next few years, she said. A DfE spokesperson said: 'High-quality, affordable childcare plays a vital role in our Plan for Change, which is why early years funding will rise to over £9bn next year, helping us meet our target of getting tens of thousands more children each year ready for school. 'We're backing families with this record investment including a £75m grant this year to support providers in delivering more places and a 45 per cent uplift in early year pupil premium, building on the real difference this is making for families as highlighted by the Coram survey who say costs for some has halved.'

US–EU trade deal: Here's what's in the agreement
President Trump and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer are meeting in Scotland as markets (^DJI, ^GSPC, ^IXIC) react to news of a trade agreement reached over the weekend between the US and EU. Ramzan Karmali, host of Yahoo Finance's Morning Brief: Market Sunrise, joins Market Catalysts to explain which industries benefit most, where uncertainty remains, and why the reaction in European markets has been mixed. To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Market Catalysts here. Now we're looking at live pictures of President Trump and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer in Scotland, the two meeting to hash out trade deal details. The meeting comes after the US and the European Union reached a massive trade agreement over the weekend. Here are the details of what's in the deal, who stands to win the most and also by the way what's not in the deal because there are still some details that are still being worked out. But we're joined by the host of Yahoo Finance's Market Sunrise, Romson Kamali with all of this. Hi Romson, what can you tell us about the deal? Hi Julie. Yes, so overall, it's a 15% tariff on EU imports coming into the US in general or on most goods. Um, the deal basically has come about, I think it's been met with a sense of relief more than anything else. I don't think it's been, I don't think, you know, the champagne corks are flying per se across Europe, but it has been met with a sense of relief because remember, on liberation day back in April, we were looking at tariffs for Europe between 30 to 50%. So there is some relief there, but don't forget before President Trump took office, according to EU estimates, you know, the tariff rates on both sides was just at 1%. So this is still an increase in the amount of levies that are going to be having to be paid on European imports into the US. Now there are certain winners and losers. Uh, just look at the car industry, for example, if you take German cars around 30 billion, maybe 35 billion dollars worth of German cars alone came into the US last year. And the tariff rate there was, look, we're looking at 27 and a half percent, that's been dropped to 15%. So you think you'd get a positive response from shares, but as you can see there, Volkswagen down almost 4% today. There was a positive response in this at the start of the trading day, but then since then when, when traders have started to look more closely at the detail, those stocks have started to retreat. Um, it's a bit of a confusing picture on pharmaceuticals, for instance. The EU were very adamant to say that the 15% was, pharma was included in the 15% levy, but that's not been quite confirmed yet either. Uh, but one of the big winners has got to be, you've got to say, is US energy. Uh, the EU, as well as the 600 billion that they are going to invest into the US, they're also going to be spending around $750 billion on US energy as well. So US energy a big winner. And aviation on both sides, on the EU side and on the US side looks like a winner as well. The European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said that certain strategic products within aviation would be tariff-free on both sides. So there are winners and losers on both sides, but I'll I'll leave you one thing, though. There are 27 countries in the EU. All 27 have to sign off on this deal, and that's not a complete given. And the French prime minister today said today was a somber day for Europe. Interesting. So we'll see if there is some friction down the line. Thank you so much, Romson. Appreciate it.
