SmarTrade, one of the leading financial education and consultancy firms in the Philippines, together with
ATFX, a globally acclaimed online investment platform, successfully concluded the BOSS: Business
Opportunity Seminar and Successful Partnership Program. The seminars were held at Solaire North, Quezon
City on June 25, Seda Nuvali in Sta. Rosa on June 26, and the Summit Hotel in Tacloban City on June 28.
These free seminars offered comprehensive financial education tailored specifically to empower Filipino traders.
Participants gained both theoretical knowledge and practical tools, enabling them to make informed and
effective financial decisions. This hands-on approach provided actionable insights into online investment and
highlighted the beneficial partnership opportunities available through ATFX’s Community Partners Programs.
Edwin Saguibo, Head of Learning and Development at SmarTrade, and Jabez Kot, ATFX’s Business Development
Manager for Southeast Asia, delivered key insights, helping more than 100 attendees enhance their trading skills
and broaden their professional networks. They also focused on applying learned concepts in real trading
environments, which was crucial in helping participants transition from novice traders to skilled market players.
“Our mission is clear and that is to equip every aspiring Filipino trader with the necessary tools for success. The
BOSS seminars are a cornerstone of this mission, transforming education into empowerment and enabling sound
financial decision-making and fostering strong networks that can positively impact Filipino families,” said Joyce Ann
Mayo, President & CEO of SmarTrade.
“We couldn’t have achieved this without our partner, ATFX, and we’re committed to bringing more of these seminars
nationwide,” added Mayo.
ATFX supports this vision with robust trading platforms and educational resources that are crucial for developing a
strong trading community. For many years, both companies have worked alongside each other to promote the growth
of the trading community in the Philippines through the ATFX’s Community Partners Program.
ATFX reinforced the exciting opportunities of being an Introducing Broker (IB). This win-win program allows individuals
and businesses to leverage on their network and “introduce” new clients into the ATFX platform. IBs enjoy various benefits
from competitive and customizable rebate schemes, multi-level commission payouts, advanced training, and free trading
tools, among others.
Jabez Kot of ATFX stated, “This collaboration with SmarTrade underscores our unwavering commitment to our clients.
We believe that we grow as a company when our clients grow. Sharing the exceptional benefits of the Community Partners
Program and feeling the enthusiasm and engagement from the participants validated that we are taking a step in the right
direction. We look forward to delivering more empowering programs to Filipino entrepreneurs and their own networks.”
Building on the success of the BOSS seminars, SmarTrade and ATFX remain committed to fostering a thriving community
of empowered Filipino traders.
