Finance Magnates Africa Summit (FMAS:24) is drawing the industry’s finest brands and venues. This includes one of the most trusted brokers in Africa, TD Markets, whose mission has been to provide transparent, secure, and accessible financial solutions. Ahead of the event, Finance Magnates spoke with TD Markets’ CEO Amar Ramith for his take on FMAS:24 and the company’s operations in Africa.
Are you excited for FMAS:24 and how do you feel your company can directly benefit from attending an event such as this in Africa?
I am thrilled that there is a return of this summit to South Africa as a host for the African chapter. Continentally, the value driven by FMAS for traders and stakeholders in the industry is of exceptionally high value.
In its first season, the Finance Magnates Africa Summit showed how powerful an event that is diverse and challenging in its address of growth and needs on the African content can be. I have much confidence in this year’s Summit to be one of much higher value as a showcase to the continent just how serious we are about catering to the needs of all stakeholders on a global scale right from South Africa.
FMAS is returning to Sandton City for its second year. What are you hoping to see or get out of this year’s event?
I look forward to meeting with traders and affiliates to gain more insight into the needs of the African market but just as importantly engaging with investors and key role players in the industry to work in tandem to bring the best solutions and technology to Africa.
The African market is a unique identity and TD Markets has the ability to engage at traditional levels with an embrace of the colorful cultural diversity to bring a transparent solution that is bespoke in its identity to fully address every need that exists from all directions of Africa.
Many brokers and brands have made the move to Africa amid the continent’s hype, size, and overall potential. Does this perspective align with your company’s goals in 2024 or beyond and is this excitement warranted?
We are an African born broker with very strong global arms, we have thus, intrinsic alignment with the growth and potential of Africa. Without doubt such excitement is well warranted given the opportunity Africa places on the global market.
It is often an oversight to fully comprehend how much value Africa brings to the global arena. TD Markets gives an identity to the global competitor landscape for this true African value.
FMAS:24 will be drawing the biggest brands as well as regional and local providers across multiple industries. How does your company plan to stand out in the crowd this year?
TD Markets is a household African brand and without doubt the expertise and value that we will bring both in our engagement and attraction at our multiple locations at FMAS will serve as the primary space for all attendees to FMAS24!
The retail industry continues to see sweeping changes, necessitating different strategies to chart a course forward. Given this uncertainty, how is your company built to navigate any industry headwinds in 2024 or what techniques do you feel are the most important looking ahead?
TD Markets has at its foundation a core value of Diversity. Across the different teams and functions, we believe that innovation permits diversity in approach to the challenges that present themselves. The retail industry has over the last decade on a global scale seen dozens of drastic changes in regulation, client demand, digitalization, and adaptation to artificial intelligence. Our front footed approach in creating solutions and products that are scalable and bespoke in nature allow us to in an ethical and client beneficial manner promote not just continuity but also growth for us as a company.
