Samtrade FX ambition: S.A.M. Trade (Asia) Pte goes public as Asia strategy ramps up
Dyason joins the company at a pivotal moment in its development. The firm was founded in 2015 and this year S.A.M. Trade (Asia) Pte Ltd began trading on the US OTC market as a public company under the symbol (OTCMKTS:SMFX).
Richard Dyason, commenting on his new appointment, said: “I am glad to be embarking on this new journey with Samtrade FX. The Group has continued to enhance its trading platform to improve its client experience and its recent accomplishments have allowed it to expand its presence across the globe. I look forward to working with the team to continue shaping Samtrade FX to realize its vision of becoming a global financial powerhouse.”
Dyason will likely be leveraging his experience and contacts in Singapore and elsewhere in the Asia-Pacific region to drive the company’s expansion there and perhaps as a platform for market penetration beyond. With this in mind, in his new role as Samtrade FX’s chief strategy officer Dyason will head-up the strategy team, with the aim of developing and implementing the group’s international strategy.
According to the press release he will also work with the wider executive team to create policies and strategies for the entities and subsidiaries under Samtrade FX.
In addition, Dyason will bring his expertise to bear in the realm of risk management in which role he will provide strategic inputs and assist in growing the group’s overall assets under management.
His roles in Singapore – one of Asia’s main financial hubs and a regulatory trailblazer in many regards – means he is likely to play an important role in helping to secure regulatory approvals for the company’s existing array of financial products as well as for new products and the overall marketing of both.
Dyason was previously a member of Samtrade FX’s board of advisors and a brand ambassador.
