Why Avesta
Avesta Investment Group is an established Tashkent investment bank (founded 2003) offering securities brokerage and custody to foreign private and institutional investors, alongside corporate finance, asset management, and research. It was named best investment bank in Uzbekistan at the Euromoney Awards for Excellence 2025 and is the Uzbekistan partner of Auerbach Grayson.
Who it suits
This is the relationship-driven end of the Uzbek broker spectrum — more advisory/institutional than a self-directed app, with research coverage. Best for investors who want a local broker relationship (and a research voice) rather than the cheapest self-service execution. For pure self-directed retail, Freedom Finance Uzbekistan or KapDepo are the more natural fits.
