Finance Magnates is extending its international platform into the Asia-Pacific region with FM Summit Singapore, reinforcing its presence in one of the region’s most established financial hubs. FM Summit Singapore will take place from 12–14 May 2026 in Singapore as part of the group’s broader international footprint, supporting commercially focused engagement among institutional financial services participants.

FM Summit Singapore joins the Finance Magnates platform, which operates across key global financial centres and is recognised for facilitating senior-level dialogue, partnership development, and market-relevant interaction across the entire financial services ecosystem.

This edition brings an established format to the Asia-Pacific region, creating a focused environment for commercial engagement and regional market development. Across the wider FM Summit portfolio, the platform has connected a global audience of more than 50,000 attendees and 2,000 exhibitors, with participation from over 100 countries worldwide.

Singapore’s role as a regional financial centre makes it a strategic location for Asia-Pacific engagement. The city serves as a decision-making base for financial services firms operating across multiple APAC markets, supported by regulatory clarity, mature market infrastructure, and strong connectivity to global capital flows.

FM Summit Singapore is designed for institutional decision-makers and senior executives across financial services firms, market infrastructure providers, and technology and data companies with active commercial mandates in the region. The platform prioritises structured engagement and informed discussion around regional strategy, infrastructure development, regulatory considerations, and cross-border collaboration.

The Singapore edition builds on an established international platform, bringing a proven audience and clear strategic focus to the region, while staying closely aligned with the local market as part of Finance Magnates’ global growth strategy.

Ongoing programme updates are available via the FM Summit Singapore website, ahead of delegate registration opening shortly.

Executive Interview | Dor Eligula | Co-Founder & Chief Business Officer, BridgeWise | FMLS:25

In this session, Jonathan Fine form Ultimate Group speaks with Dor Eligula from Bridgewise, a fast-growing AI-powered research and analytics firm supporting brokers and exchanges worldwide. We start with Dor’s reaction to the Summit and then move to broker growth and the quick wins brokers often overlook. Dor shares where he sees “blue ocean” growth across Asian markets and how local client behaviour shapes demand. We also discuss the rollout of AI across investment research. Dor gives real examples of how automation and human judgment meet at Bridgewise — including moments when analysts corrected AI output, and times when AI prevented an error. We close with a practical question: how retail investors can actually use AI without falling into common traps.

    Executive Interview | Brendan Callan | CEO, TRADU | FMLS:25

    Brendan Callan joined us fresh off the Summit’s most anticipated debate: “Is Prop Trading Good for the Industry?” Brendan argued against the motion — and the audience voted him the winner. In this interview, Brendan explains the reasoning behind his position. He walks through the message he believes many firms avoid: that the current prop trading model is too dependent on fees, too loose on risk, and too confusing for retail audiences. We discuss why he thinks the model grew fast, why it may run into walls, and what he believes is needed for a cleaner, more responsible version of prop trading. This is Brendan at his frankest — sharp, grounded, and very clear about what changes are overdue.
