IBs and Brokers: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

For most brokers, IBs and trading educators are coveted partners, providing highly targeted traffic from select regions. But if not managed properly, relationships can go sour. How exactly to culture and maintain these relationships requires a delicate touch with no one-size-fits-all approach. The importance of these relationships, as well as strategies surrounding their management is a key area of focus at the Finance Magnates Pacific Summit (FMPS) later this month.

FMPS will officially be taking place in Sydney, Australia on August 27-29 at the International Convention Centre. The event will look to bridge both the B2B and B2C industries, drawing leading brokers, IBs, service providers, and of course plenty of retail traders.

The event is expected to attract several different types of attendees, each of whom is available for face-to-face engagement, networking, or business:

• Forex/CFD Brokers
• Institutional Brokers
• Affiliates & IBs
• Traders & Investors
• Educators & Market Experts
• Fintech & Payments Brands
• Crypto & Digital Assets Businesses
• Technology & Liquidity Providers
• Press/Media
• Regulators
• Start-ups
• Investors/VCs

Additionally, FMPS will be featuring two unique content stages, the Centre Stage and Exchange Zone. These two will be covering the online trading, crypto, fintech, and payments sphere. FMPS’ full-length agenda will showcase a wide range of panels, workshops, keynotes, and more. One particular workshop of note will be the session, ‘IBs and Brokers: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly’.

Learn How to Manage the Relationships that Matter at FMPS

With this in mind, attendees can circle one session as a must-attend, ‘IBs and Brokers: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly’. This panel will be held on August 28 at 14:10-14:40 at the Exchange Zone, spotlighted by the following experts:

• Melody Gao, Senior Lawyer at Sophie Grace
• James Perry-Keene, Head of Strategic Partnerships at Pepperstone
• Christopher Balanzategui, CEO at N3tworx

This session will provide the latest insights and perspective for IBs. This includes the types of licenses IBs need in the Asia-Pacific (APAC), as well as IB agreements such as the fine print both sides should pay attention to.

Participants can also learn about the most common disputes between IBs and brokers and how to solve them. Experts will be able to lend years of expertise to this subject and inform attendees about best practices. Finally, attendees can learn about the transition from IB to broker and whether this move is one you should make at all, including both pros and cons.

Join this workshop and many others this August. See you in Sydney in two weeks!
