SmarTrade, in collaboration with globally renowned online trading broker ATFX, continues to champion financial literacy among Filipinos through its initiative, Profitable Alliances: Reshaping Trading Networks for Endless Rewards (P.A.R.T.N.E.R.) Summit. This comprehensive roadshow and training series is designed to transform experienced traders into Introducing Broker (IB) partners while inspiring the next generation of trading professionals.
Through university outreach initiatives, SmarTrade aims to empower young individuals to make informed financial decisions and develop essential skills for their futures.
SmarTrade Market Analyst Gab Santos recently led a Financial Wellness Seminar organized by the accounting students at the University of St. La Salle, Bacolod. The seminar, held at Lopue’s East Centre in Bacolod City, featured in-depth insights on the fundamentals of forex trading, chart analysis, and practical strategies to help students build a strong foundation in online trading.
“Learning about forex and the financial markets early on gives students a significant edge,” said Santos. “By understanding how global economies move and how to analyze the markets, they’re better equipped to make informed financial decisions, not just in trading, but in life.”
The event in Bacolod is part of a broader movement spearheaded by SmarTrade to work hand-in-hand with academic institutions to deliver free and accessible financial education nationwide. From Metro Manila to provincial campuses, the company is forging long-term partnerships that support universities’ efforts to equip students with real-world skills beyond the classroom.
Following the success of previous campus events, including a well-attended financial wellness talk at Cavite State University in 2024, SmarTrade continues to build momentum. Its next stop will be the upcoming career expo at the University of Santo Tomas Manila, organized with the UST Artlets Economics Society (UST-AES). There, SmarTrade aims to inspire students to explore opportunities in the financial markets and expand their understanding of economic literacy.
“SmarTrade is deeply committed to fostering financial empowerment through education,” said Joyce Mayo, President and CEO of SmarTrade. “With the support of our partner ATFX, we’re able to connect with more communities and shape a new generation of financially savvy Filipinos.”
