About us
Business Philosophy
BellRock Securities was founded in 2016 with the aim of providing superior customer service in an industry that has seen that focus decline.
BellRock Securities integrates the financial businesses of CB Trading and Invest NV, a regulated financial company in Belgium with a focus on the Benelux region. CB Trading and Invest NV, founded by Johan Maet in 2003 is an Institutional Client Advisor, specialising in fixed income and financial structured products.
In 2009, CB Trading and Invest NV became a tied agent and the Belgian branch of Armajaro Securities Limited, which was authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority in the United Kingdom, with a focus on fixed income and financial products advisory and executions through a Model B Agreement with Société Generale in the Benelux region. In 2013, CB Trading and Invest NV‘s research department created an exclusive and new concept of fixed income investment through the securitisation of parking plots of a city.
In 2016, Johan Maet decided to create BellRock Securities in London in order to expand business in Europe utilising the resources of one of the world’s largest financial centres, the City of London.
In December 2016, CB Trading and Invest NV, 105043B, was deregistered from the Belgian FSMA authorization list and the activities reduced to pure administration functions and Research and Development activities.
We focus on our core businesses in arranging fixed-income deals, where we have developed expertise and specialised knowledge. For other areas of business, we strive to search for the best partner to provide solutions for our clients.
