Proprietary trading firm establishes standalone brand ahead of product and market expansion, with an expanded leadership team. No change to conditions for existing traders.
EBENE, Mauritius, Oct. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The proprietary trading firm previously operating as Hantec Trader has today begun operating under the name RZR Funded, marking the start of a new phase of growth for the business.
The move to RZR Funded establishes a distinct identity for the proprietary trading business as it enters its next chapter, building on an established operating track record while creating greater scope for its future growth.
As part of this next phase, RZR Funded is expanding its leadership team, with additional senior appointments planned to support the company's growth strategy. The existing management team will remain in place, led by Director Bashaar Gokal, providing continuity while bringing additional experience and resources into the business. The firm is also preparing to broaden its product range and available markets, with the first of several new launches due within weeks.
There is no change to the service existing traders receive. All in-progress challenges and funded accounts continue exactly as they were, with the same logins, balances and progress toward targets. Profit splits, drawdown limits, evaluation targets, trading conditions and payout schedules are unchanged. Traders will also gain access to new products, tools and features as they are introduced.
"This is the start of an exciting new chapter for the business," said Bashaar Gokal, Director at RZR Funded. "We've built a strong track record and an experienced team, and RZR Funded gives us the platform to take the business to the next level. We have ambitious plans for where we want to go from here, and I'm looking forward to sharing more of those plans over the coming months."
The firm will continue publishing its payout record, including amounts, dates and processing times, as it has done to date.
"Nothing changes for anyone trading with us today, and I want to be completely clear about that," said Gokal. "Same conditions, same payout terms and the same team looking after you. RZR Funded represents where we want to take the business next, and traders should expect more from us over the coming years, not less."
Further announcements covering RZR Funded's expanded product range, leadership team and growth plans are expected shortly.

Hantec Trader becomes RZR Funded as firm enters new phase of growth
Australians crack 6.87 billion eggs a year. Joint health research says we're throwing away the best bit.
SYDNEY, Oct. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The paper-thin membrane inside every eggshell has been studied in human clinical trials for joint pain and stiffness. Now it's on supermarket shelves nationwide.
Vitaceuticals combines NEM with MagZorb magnesium glycinate in MagZorb Joint Ease with NEM, available nationally in major supermarkets and pharmacies, and on Amazon. For more information, visit Vitaceuticals' MagZorb Joint Ease page.
Natural eggshell membrane (NEM®) contains collagen, chondroitin and hyaluronic acid, compounds found in healthy cartilage. It has been tested in human clinical trials for more than 15 years.
The most striking result came from a double-blind, placebo-controlled study published in Clinical Rheumatology. [1,2] Adults with knee osteoarthritis took 500 mg of NEM daily. After just 10 days they reported 15.9% less joint pain than the placebo group, and the improvement held at two months. A 2018 placebo-controlled trial found post-menopausal women had less joint stiffness after exercise within a week.
"What stood out to me in the research was how early the change was measured: at day 10," said Sally Tadros, pharmacist and co-founder of Vitaceuticals. "That's a timeframe people can relate to."
The research lands as Australians rethink what's in their medicine cabinet. Current RACGP osteoarthritis guidelines suggest GPs don't offer long-time favourites like glucosamine and fish oil. Meanwhile, 4.1 million Australians live with arthritis, a number projected to hit 5.4 million by 2040. Women are hardest hit, with osteoarthritis about 80% more common in women than men.
"Most people have never heard of eggshell membrane, but it's one of the most interesting ingredients in joint health research right now," said Ms Tadros. "It's been hiding in plain sight in every kitchen, and most of us have been throwing it out with the shells."
Always read the label and follow the directions for use.
