As 2024 draws to an end, Octa broker gives an overview of its charity projects carried out worldwide this year, ranging from emergency assistance to school renovation and from distribution of festive meals during Eid al-Adha to sponsoring the education of underprivileged youths.
As a global broker with a strong stance on corporate responsibility, Octa continuously pursues socially beneficial purposes worldwide. Across a broad range of its charity initiatives, Octa has been focusing on providing urgent and targeted support to those in need while fostering opportunities for future growth.
Overall, Octa's charity projects reached 4,792 beneficiaries worldwide in 2024. Partnering with reputable and established local non-profits, charities, and community members, the broker carried out 12 projects in various regions, including Malaysia, Indonesia, Nigeria, and South Africa. However, for Octa, this year of charity work is still ongoing as three more endeavours are being undertaken around the New Year's time.
Below are some of Octa's most impactful charity projects of 2024:
● In Indonesia, the broker supported a major school renovation in Depok City, West Java, to honour the sacred month of Ramadan widely celebrated by the local community. Since the school SD NEGERI DEPOK was in dire need of renovation, Octa's assistance included the strengthening of all associated building structures as well as a general overhaul to provide security and comfort to students. The current school layout anticipates the annually rising numbers in the student population, driving accessible and comfortable education.
● In Malaysia, Octa sponsored a coding bootcamp for the students of Ideas International, an inclusive secondary school located in Kuala Lumpur. The bootcamp was conducted onsite in three stages and lasted from June to November, providing students with quality hands-on learning and boosting their career opportunities. The project aimed to help young dedicated people from diverse backgrounds receive a well-rounded extra-curricular education and make radical progress in their professional pursuits.
● In Nigeria, Octa helped a local community of Kanke ease an acute shortage of pure water by drilling a much-needed borehole. For a town with limited resources, this project represents a crucial improvement in health, hygiene, and the overall quality of life of the entire population. In addition to the borehole, Octa contributed to the program to distribute essential food items to local families.
● In South Africa, Octa supported a charity project implemented together with the Johannesburg branches of IkamvaYouth, a non-profit that enables disadvantaged youths to pull themselves and each other out of poverty through education. The Octa and IkamvaYouth joint initiative provides young people from under-served communities of South Africa with a valuable opportunity to develop soft and hard skills required in the modern labour market. Empowered with these life-affecting skills, young project participants will have better prospects to succeed in their chosen field, ensuring better life standards. The project scope encompasses 250 hours of academic tutoring and homework support sessions per annum for each of IkamwaYouth's learners.
In 2025, Octa will keep true to its social mission and strengthen its commitment to charity endeavours in various regions to drive better living standards, stronger communities, and more accessible education.

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.

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.
