Our Team

A large group photo of the EFund team outdoors on a sunny, windy day. The team is casually dressed, while taking a boat ride in the harbor with a bridge in the background. There are multiple rows of people: the front row is crouching or kneeling, and the back row is standing. Everyone is smiling and looking at the camera, indicating a friendly and cohesive team atmosphere.
