OctaFX celebrates 11 years in the financial markets

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 3, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – OctaFX is celebrating its 11th anniversary! Here's what the broker achieved over the years and the core elements of the brand philosophy that helped it along the way. The global broker OctaFX is bigger than ever before – all thanks to the support of its clients. Below are the main achievements OctaFX has managed to accomplish over the past eleven years.

Those above are the numbers. But what is behind them? OctaFX shares the core elements of its philosophy and how they help the broker make the investment journeys of its clients as smooth as possible.

OctaFX is always online. The broker has already processed 8.8 million requests and dedicated approximately 96,800,000 minutes to resolving issues and answering the questions of its clients honestly and openly.

OctaFX is always looking for ways to improve, and therefore analyses all feedback carefully. Identifying the problems traders face when using its services or functionality they wish the broker had is what guides OctaFX's development. Apart from other significant changes, it managed to decrease the average verification process to around three minutes, with 85% of clients passing it on the first time.

Constant change in the financial world is what keeps OctaFX agile and ready to transform and develop at all times. This approach resulted in releasing its own mobile trading and copytrading apps, adding a variety of popular financial instruments ranging from cryptocurrencies to stock indices, and developing a copytrading platform with unique features for finding and copying professional traders.

Data is what OctaFX is driven by. The broker is constantly conducting research and analysis of itself, learning about the latest financial technologies – all to make sure it provides the clients not only with the best trading conditions, but also with the cutting edge technical solutions.

OctaFX is focused on the goals of its clients, and that is why it tries to eliminate all the obstacles limiting their trading experience and keeping them from realising the full potential of their diverse approaches. To help its clients boost their trading and allow for a more effective use of long-term strategies, the broker decided to remove swaps entirely this May.

To become yet closer to its clients, OctaFX decided to rebrand and adopt a fresh new look: with refined colours, space-inspired elements, and a new logo.

"All our achievements and transformations would be meaningless without our clients. It is our clients who drive our growth and allow us to always move forward. It is our clients who inspire us to be current, dynamic, innovative, confident. We thank all of them for choosing us as their broker," the OctaFX press office commented.

To mark its eleventh anniversary, OctaFX has made its usually below-the-market spreads the lowest in the industry on the MT4 and MT5 platforms. The broker has reduced the spreads by 20% on XAUUSD, EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY, GBPJPY, USDCHF, XTIUSD, and US30, as well as by 25% on BTCUSD and ETHUSD.

OctaFX is a global broker providing online trading services worldwide since 2011. It offers everything one needs to reach their investment goals, providing top-notch conditions utilised already by clients from over 150 countries worldwide.

Elite Partners Makes Maiden Entry into the Dutch Logistics Market with Acquisition of a Warehouse in Netherlands

Singapore, Aug 2, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – Elite Partners Capital has acquired a warehouse in central Netherlands from a private investor. This comes shortly after its acquisition of a distribution facility in Wrexham UK, announced just earlier in the month. This marks the firm's first foray into the Dutch logistics market.

The asset is located at Nunspeet, a city just outside the Randstad area in the middle of Netherlands. Located alongside the A28 motorway, it serves as one of multiple industrial/logistics hubs that connects the Randstad area with the northeastern provinces and the northern part of Germany. The asset sits within the Feithenhof business park which has a total size of approximately 27.7 hectares and comprises a mix of local industrial businesses alongside internationally operating occupiers.

The warehouse provides a gross floor area of 30,817 sqm on 55,108 sqm of land. It is fully let to B&C International B.V., one of Europe's leading suppliers of custom and ready-made window treatments. B&C is one of North America's Springs Window Fashions' residential brand. The asset is used largely for sorting and distribution and also houses B&C's headquarters.

The transaction is part of the second series of EPC's Logistics Fund and is the firm's first acquisition in the Dutch market. "The Netherlands is one of the top logistics markets in Europe, underpinned by efficient ports and well-established logistics infrastructure. We are excited to announce our first acquisition within the Dutch market and look forward to growing our footprint here due to its strong fundamentals and logistics demand," said Mr Victor Song, CEO of Elite Partners Capital.

Aneka Jaringan and Samaiden Join Forces to Tap Solar PV Potential in Indonesia

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 2, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – Aneka Jaringan Holdings Berhad and Samaiden Group Berhad has entered into a joint venture (JV) agreement today, which will create new revenue streams for both companies via engineering, procurement, construction & commissioning (EPCC) of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems and power plants in Indonesia.

Aneka Jaringan's Managing Director, Pang Tse Fui and Samaiden's Group Managing Director Ir. Chow Pui Hee [L-R]

This JV provides Samaiden access to the Indonesian market and allows Aneka Jaringan which already has a presence in Indonesia via its subsidiary, PT Aneka Jaringan Indonesia, to add to its value chain in a fast-growing segment.

Indonesia's renewable energy (RE) sector holds promising potential. As Southeast Asia's largest economy and with an increasing energy demand due to its rapid development, it accounts for 40% of the energy consumption in this region. As committed to the Paris Agreement, Indonesia wants to achieve net-zero emissions by 2060 or sooner. It has pledged to reduce its national carbon dioxide emission by 29% within the next decade and committed to scaling up clean power and transitioning away from coal. In line with this, Indonesia targets to have 23% of the national energy source to be RE by 2025 from the current 12%.

The country's Ministry of Investment has highlighted that Indonesia has 97 RE projects in the pipeline worth USD12 billion. With efforts underway by Indonesia to remove entry barriers for renewables, the prospects are attractive for the RE sector, in particular solar PV systems, a clean energy technology that can be deployed rapidly in the sunshine-rich country.

The JV puts both companies in a strategic position to capitalise on the opportunities presented by Indonesia's commitment to RE. In addition to EPCC of solar PV, the JV will provide RE and environmental consulting services, operations and maintenance (O&M) services and built-own-operate-tranfer RE facilities.

A JV company with a proposed authorised capital of IDR10.1 billion (RM3.03 million/USD0.71 million) will be incorporated in Indonesia for this purpose. The incorporation of the new JV company is scheduled to be completed by the end of August 2022 in Jakarta.

Aneka Jaringan together with its subsidiary, PT Aneka and Samaiden will hold 45% and 50% stake respectively in the JV company. The remainder shall be subscribed by Aneka Jaringan's business partner based in Indonesia.

Commenting on the JV, Aneka Jaringan's Managing Director, Mr Pang Tse Fui said, "This JV is in line with our growth strategy of expanding our operations in Indonesia and increasing our revenue streams. Our new Jakarta office is nearing completion, ready to welcome a new JV company and this will enable them to hit the ground running to tap into Indonesia's 400,000 megawatt (MW) solar power potential. We are pleased to partner with Samaiden via this JV company which is expected to strengthen Aneka Jaringan's value chain and business resilience while contributing to Indonesia's carbon neutrality goal."

Ir. Chow Pui Hee, the Group Managing Director of Samaiden echoed these sentiments. "Indonesia presents great potential in an area of Samaiden's expertise – RE, in particular solar PV systems. We perceive Aneka Jaringan through its Indonesian subsidiary, as a perfect partner who has the local knowledge, network and experience that can expedite and support our geographical expansion. With over 200 completed projects under our belt, we are committed to provide our best solutions to support Indonesia's net-zero ambition."

Samaiden is an RE award-winning company listed on the ACE Market of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad. It has a proven track record in Large Scale Solar (LSS) projects, winning the ASEAN Energy Award 2017.

Aneka Jaringan is also listed on the ACE Market of Bursa Securities and has over two decades of experience in basement and foundation construction. Its subsidiary, PT Aneka, based in Jakarta, is the first regional office of Aneka Jaringan Group, and has proven steadfast growth since its establishment in 2014.

SESAMi launches innovative e-financing marketplace amidst rising loan interest rates for businesses

SINGAPORE, Jul 27, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – SESAMi has successfully launched a collaboration with its 5 banking partners including OCBC, CIMB and Linklogis to enable suppliers using its platform to get paid immediately on their outstanding invoices and purchase orders.

Simplified Onboarding

SESAMi will be reaching out to the supplier community to initiate this program. "The funding process will be massively sped up through leveraging on our Early Payment System (EPS), which was launched earlier this year for the SESAMi supplier community. With the digital financing program, suppliers only need to submit minimal documents to be on-boarded under the program," said Sharath Singh, Commercial Director for SESAMi.

Competitive Pricing

The marketplace will allow suppliers to pick and choose the financing partner best suited to their needs. The financing partners will, on the other hand, leverage on the data provided by SESAMi's e-procurement system to make faster and more accurate credit decisions in real time, allowing the suppliers to gain access to financing at a lower interest rate than the conventional products offered off the shelf. "Customer experience remains key to this initiative whilst we also acknowledge the local businesses priorities is to keep their costs low. This marketplace will give them the best of both worlds," added Mr Ong Teck Soon, SESAMi Holding's Chairman and Group CEO.

Digital Financing Partners

Linklogis

Founded in 2016 with major shareholders such as Tencent, Government of Singapore Investment Corporation (GIC), and Standard Chartered Bank, Linklogis is one of the largest supply chain finance technology service providers in the world. Linklogis was successfully listed on the main board of HKEX in April of 2021 as the first supply chain finance technology SaaS enterprise listed in China. On 3rd June 2022, Green Link Digital Bank (GLDB), founded by a consortium comprising Linklogis and Greenland Group, commenced banking business as one of the first Digital Wholesale Banks with official approval from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS).

Eager to bring cutting-edge financial technology and experience in serving SMEs to Singapore, Mr. Raymond Yeo, Director and Head of Business Development of Linklogis Singapore, said, "This is an exciting opportunity for Linklogis to introduce itself to the local SME market. We hope to showcase our dynamic tech-focused platform to the suppliers within SESAMi's eco-system and provide a seamless user experience across all stages of the financing process."

OCBC Bank

OCBC Bank is the longest established Singapore bank, formed in 1932 from the merger of three local banks, the oldest of which was founded in 1912. Recognised for its financial strength and stability, OCBC Bank is consistently ranked among the World's Top 50 Safest Banks by Global Finance and has been named Best Managed Bank in Singapore by The Asian Banker.

Mr Eric Ong, Senior Vice President, Global Commercial Banking, for OCBC remarked, "The trade data made available from SESAMi allows the bank to leverage on an alternative source of data for credit assessment. By using this data, SME customers no longer need to go through an onerous loan application process and are able to obtain funds much faster."

About SESAMi (www.sesami.com)

SESAMi was founded in 1999 by a consortium of large corporates to develop e-sourcing and e-procurement services. Over the years, the company has consolidated its position in the e-procurement sector in Singapore, while expanding into other services like demand aggregation and e-financing.

With the strong support of the Foundation's donors and sponsors, our Patron and Board of Directors, as well as management, lawyers and staff from across ONERHT, I will continue to advance the Foundation's initiatives and programmes across its four core pillars of education, the environment and sustainability, disadvantaged groups, as well as the arts and sports," she added.

OctaFX announces visual rebranding, adopts space-inspired design system

KUALA LUMPUR, Jul 26, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – 11 years of providing brokerage services marks an important milestone for OctaFX. For the first time, the broker decided to hold a visual rebranding.

Over more than a decade, OctaFX has managed to accomplish numerous achievements. Today, clients from over 150 countries have opened more than 12 million trading accounts with the broker. To become even closer to its clients, OctaFX decided to adopt a fresh new look: with refined colours, space-inspired elements, and a new logo.

The concept

The main concept behind the rebranding reflects the broker's mission: OctaFX exists to ensure everyone can achieve their investment goals.

"We picture goals as stars in the broad universe of finance. Each one represents a unique combination of needs and desires of a particular person. The journey towards the investment goal isn't always easy – there are many obstacles on the way. To overcome them, traders need an optimal set of both analytical and financial instruments, as well as a reliable partner. We are here to provide them with everything necessary to make effective trading decisions and achieve their investment goals. All the elements of our new design system convey this message in a simple, yet illustrative way," the OctaFX press office commented.

The logo

The two orbits forming OctaFX's new logo reflect the all-encompassing support it provides for traders on the journey towards their goals. The orbits cross each other to create the word 'fx' that highlights an important part of the company name.

The elements

The elements constituting the new visual identity are all built around centre-oriented forces and objects, such as orbits and rays, reflecting the broker's continued focus on the investment goals of its clients.

The colours

The colour palette of deep blues and intense oranges gives vibrancy to the new brand design, emphasising the confidence, dynamism, and readiness to change.

The transformation

The financial world is changing rapidly. New challenges emerge every day, and OctaFX is ready to evolve and transform in response, all to meet and exceed the expectations of its clients. The new branding was created to express that.

About OctaFX

OctaFX is a global broker providing online trading services worldwide since 2011.
