The Finance Magnates Africa Summit (FMAS:24) attracts the finest brands and venues in the industry. This includes one of the most trusted brokers in Africa, TD Markets, whose mission is to provide transparent, secure and accessible financial solutions. Ahead of the event, Finance Magnates spoke with TD Markets CEO Amar Ramith about his take on FMAS:24 and the company's operations in Africa.
Are you excited about FMAS:24 and how do you feel your company can directly benefit from attending an event like this in Africa?
I am pleased that this summit will return to South Africa as the host country of the African Chapter. At a continental level, the value that FMAS offers to traders and industry stakeholders is exceptionally high.
In its first season, the Finance Magnates Africa Summit demonstrated how powerful this diverse and challenging event is in addressing the growth and needs of African content. I have every confidence that this year's summit will be of much greater value as a demonstration to the continent of how serious we are about meeting the needs of all stakeholders on a global scale right from South Africa.
FMAS returns to Sandton City for its second year. What do you hope to see or get out of this year's event?
I look forward to meeting with traders and affiliates to gain more knowledge about the needs of the African market, but just as importantly connecting with investors and key players in the industry to work hand in hand to bring the best solutions and technology to Africa.
The African market is a unique identity TD Markets It has the ability to engage at traditional levels while embracing colorful cultural diversity to offer a transparent solution tailored to its identity to fully meet all the needs that exist in all directions of Africa.
Many brokers and brands have moved into 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 justified?
We are an African-born broker with very strong global arms and, therefore, a fundamental alignment with the growth and potential in Africa. There is no doubt that this excitement is justified given the opportunity that Africa offers in the global market.
It is often an oversight to fully understand how much value Africa brings to the global stage. TD Markets gives a global competitor identity to this true African value.
FMAS:24 will attract the biggest brands as well as regional and local service providers across multiple industries. How does your company plan to stand out from the crowd this year?
TD Markets is a household African brand, and there is no doubt that the experience and value we will bring in our engagement and appeal at our multiple locations at FMAS will serve as the anchor space for all FMAS24 attendees!
The retail industry continues to undergo sweeping changes, necessitating different strategies to chart a path forward. Given this uncertainty, how is your company built to weather any industry headwinds in 2024 or what technologies do you feel are most important looking to the future?
At its foundation, TD Markets has a core value of diversity. Across different teams and functions, we believe that innovation allows for diversity in approaches to challenges that present themselves. Over the past decade, the retail industry has witnessed on a global scale dozens of radical changes in regulation, customer demand, digital transformation, and adaptation to artificial intelligence. Our pioneering approach to creating solutions and products that are scalable and bespoke in nature allows us to promote not only continuity but also growth for us as a company in an ethical and customer-friendly way.
