SmarTrade, in collaboration with its award-winning global partner broker ATFX, has been at the forefront of promoting financial literacy and economic inclusion in the Philippines. Through 100% free learning programs—such as one-on-one coaching, webinars, and in-person seminars—SmarTrade continues to help Filipinos make smart, informed decisions in trading and investing, especially during times of economic uncertainty.
To help break down barriers to financial education, SmarTrade offers free office-based sessions in Makati for beginners, focusing on trading basics. For experienced traders, free monthly exclusive seminars in various locations cover advanced topics like technical and fundamental analysis, chart patterns, and real-market applications.
Despite the differences in approach, both learning paths aim to empower participants with practical knowledge, confidence, and discipline in their financial journey.
In response to growing misinformation surrounding online trading, SmarTrade is also actively creating bite-sized educational content such as podcasts and social media reels. These provide insights on local and global economic trends while helping to dispel common myths. By making content easy to digest, SmarTrade ensures that more Filipinos understand the value and risks of trading responsibly.
SmarTrade also partners with educational institutions to reach younger audiences. Its Financial Wellness Talks have already reached top schools, including Cavite State University, University of St. La Salle, Partido State University, University of Santo Tomas, and National Teachers College, equipping students with essential financial life skills.
“Our mission is to make financial education accessible and practical for every Filipino,” said Joyce Mayo, President and CEO of SmarTrade. “There’s still more work to do, and we’re committed to doing it.”
