Village Connect
In an effort to nurture financially empowered young minds, SmarTrade, in partnership with global trading leader ATFX, has launched a nationwide initiative that integrates financial education into university life. Through its innovative P.A.R.T.N.E.R. Summit (Profitable Alliances: Reshaping Trading Networks for Endless Rewards), the company is reshaping how students see their financial futures—by turning learning into lasting opportunity.
At the heart of this movement is SmarTrade’s goal to cultivate a new generation of informed, financially literate Filipinos. By working closely with academic institutions, the company ensures that students aren’t just gaining knowledge—they’re gaining skills that will carry them into successful careers in finance and beyond.
One of the most recent stops in this initiative was the University of St. La Salle in Bacolod. Hosted in partnership with the university’s accounting students, SmarTrade Market Analyst Gab Santos delivered a Financial Wellness Seminar at Lopue’s East Centre. The session delved into the world of forex trading, offering students clear, practical guidance on how to read charts, understand market trends, and apply strategies that lead to smart decision-making.
“Learning these concepts early empowers students,” said Santos. “It gives them a head start not just in trading, but in understanding the financial world they’ll soon be a part of.”
This event is part of a growing list of campus engagements that SmarTrade has organized to promote free, accessible financial education across the country. From city centers to provincial towns, the company is forming strong bonds with schools to bring industry-relevant knowledge straight to students.
Previously, SmarTrade held a well-received financial wellness talk at Cavite State University, and more events are lined up. Next, the company will be featured at the University of Santo Tomas Manila for its career expo in collaboration with the UST Artlets Economics Society. These events aim to introduce students to career possibilities in trading and finance, while reinforcing the importance of economic literacy in everyday life.
“Our mission has always been to promote financial empowerment through education,” said SmarTrade President and CEO Joyce Mayo. “With the continued support of our partner ATFX, we’re reaching more communities, equipping young Filipinos with the tools they need to take control of their futures.”
SmarTrade’s approach is more than just seminars—it’s about community. By offering free learning sessions and one-on-one mentorship programs, the company invites students and aspiring traders alike to take part in a growing network dedicated to financial wellness.
