In the Formula 1 space we see Swissquote’s branding on the Mercedes Benz cars of Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton every other weekend. Saxo Bank has announced they are collaborating with Lotus after the team won its first points for the season in Monaco.
“Being one of UK’s first Indian-owned FX and CFD brokers we are able to use our expertise, insight and local knowledge to cater the needs of this customer segment,” added Mr. Jameel.
The South Asia region is home to one of the BRICS, India and two emerging market nations, Pakistan and Bangladesh. At the same time, in the UK there are over 3 million people classified as British Asians, from these nations.
The firm has been involved in a number of alternative approaches to develop its brand, Mr. Jameel spoke about the use of cinema to reinforce the brand’s messaging at the iFX EXPO in Macau earlier this year, he explained: “It helps you break down barriers when people see your firm in ‘less a serious’ context.”
TradeNext furthers its move into the entertainment marketing sector as it hosts a popular Bollywood-focused concert being held in London this weekend.
A key element of the partnership for DCFC is TradeNext’s international presence; the association will present the Club with an opportunity to reach out to the firm’s substantial South Asian client base and subsequently provide Derby County with in-depth knowledge and experience in this growing segment.

Really ! Great work done by Tradenext
Thanks to all the Tradenext employees who took a moment to post. great work gents. Derby County!!!! hahahahahaha
The average price for these types of deals in the English Championship is approx £50-£100k depending on amount of advertising rights the brand receives. IronFX reportedly paid Barcelona 3mill Euros.
If TradeNext got this exposure for under £100k, this looks to be money very well spent!
They probably have an agreement which allows them to pitch the product to the players which means they’ll earn back the fee in trading revenue pretty quickly!
@ James. You assume that footballers have some level of intelligence to trade. Wayne Rooney and Fibonacci – not is this lifetime!
That’s my point. Footballers trades would be going straight in the b-book!
It’s interesting that forex brokers opt to sponsor football over other sports like rugby and cricket..
Perhaps Tradenext have done this to appeal more to international traders than to English. Does GWFX really care about sponsoring Swansea to appeal to the locals, or more to look good in Asia? Seems to me that most traders who are not from England wont have a clue which league Derby county are in and will just think its a positive that Tradenext are big enough to sponsor a English football team.

Michael D@ rather contradictory, if youve seen the demographic stats for Derby city its not ‘very ethnic’ unlike your Leicesters or even B’ham, how will this appeal to international traders or Asian traders?
Lets be fair brokers like these only do ‘sponsorship’ to look good and big!!!
Its mass marketing – simple as that.
If i were a trader i would be more interested in Chess!
If it's anything to go by, you'll probably expect Tradenext to sponsor a 'few' football clubs just like the vast selection of platforms they offer
Are they planning to launch anything else?
Footballs coming to India then.. Or just the outlawed forex trading
proud to be apart of tradenext
