Pepperstone Attending FMPS, Looking to Grow in APAC

Pepperstone will be attending the upcoming Finance Magnates Pacific Summit (FMPS) as a Platinum Sponsor on August 27-29 in Sydney, Australia. Ahead of the landmark event, FM spoke with James Perry-Keene, Head of Strategic Partnerships at Pepperstone for his perspective on the event and the company’s role this August.

As one of the most influential brands at FMPS, Mr. Perry-Keene touched on a number of key points and noteworthy trends in a tell all interview.

Every company or brand gets something different out of expos or events. How do you feel your company can directly benefit from attending FMPS this August?

Attending FMPS this August presents a unique opportunity for Pepperstone to engage directly with industry peers. Our primary benefit will be gaining insights into emerging trends and challenges, which will help us fine-tune our strategies. Additionally, the event will allow us to showcase our latest innovations and technologies, strengthening our position as a leading global online trading provider.

FMPS is making its inaugural splash in Australia. What are you hoping to see or get out of this year’s event?

As FMPS makes its debut in Australia, we’re excited to explore new industry dynamics and connect with both regional and global peers. We hope to gain a deeper understanding of the local market landscape, exchange ideas with industry leaders, and identify new opportunities for collaboration. The event is a perfect platform to stay informed about the latest trends and innovations that will shape the future of our industry.

The APAC retail market has its own nuisances and strengths, perhaps none greater than a critical mass of talent and a developed infrastructure. Is operating in APAC or Australia a consideration for your brand or does this align with your company’s goals?

Since being established in Australia in 2010, we have grown to become one of the most reputable online brokers in the industry, with our clients now trading across 160 countries. Pepperstone prides itself on fast and reliable execution, competitive pricing, and outstanding customer support. Expanding our presence in APAC continues to strengthen our position as a leading global online trading provider.

FMPS will be attracting the most recognizable and best-performing brands from multiple industries. How does your company plan to stand out in the crowd or put itself on the map in front of a regional, as well as global audience?

At FMPS, Pepperstone plans to stand out by highlighting our commitment to fast and reliable execution, competitive pricing, and outstanding customer support. We’ll showcase our advanced trading platforms and competitive pricings, which are key to our reputation as a top-tier broker. By engaging actively with attendees and demonstrating our industry-leading solutions, we aim to make a significant impact and reinforce our position on both regional and global stages.

The retail trading industry continues to move ahead in 2024, with the push for new clients and business ongoing. In what ways is your company equipped to handle any potential challenges or industry shakeups in H2 or beyond?
