What Does EBC’s Presence at iFX EXPO LATAM 2025 Mean for Latin American Traders?

EBC Financial Group has made waves at the iFX EXPO LATAM 2025, and our presence speaks volumes about our commitment to empowering Latin American traders. The event brought together a diverse range of fintech innovators, regional brokers, and industry leaders to discuss the future of trading in Latin America. With retail investor penetration still below 10% in Mexico, we see this as a key moment to drive conversations around trust, education, and the tools traders need to thrive in an ever-evolving market. A Shift Toward Self-Directed Trading in Latin America The appetite for self-directed trading in Latin America is rapidly growing. In countries like Mexico, where retail investor penetration remains under 10%, we are seeing a marked shift in how individuals are engaging with global markets. Traders are now looking for the flexibility and independence that self-directed trading offers. This shift is a natural evolution, and EBC is at the forefront of providing traders with the tools they need to navigate this new era. Education: The Foundation of a Resilient Trader In an environment marked by volatility, having access to the right education is crucial. EBC recognises that understanding the tools and strategies available is key to making informed decisions. During the panel “The Ultimate LATAM & Global Market Outlook 2025”, David Barrett, CEO of EBC Financial Group (UK) Ltd, reinforced the importance of resilience and adaptability: “The recent market turbulence reminds us that resilience and adaptability are more crucial than ever. Volatility isn’t something to fear – it’s something to understand and navigate with discipline. At EBC, we’re focused on giving traders the tools and education they need to make confident decisions, even in uncertain conditions.” David’s words resonate with EBC’s core philosophy – empowering traders with the knowledge they need to make sound decisions, even during unpredictable market conditions. Strategic Tools to Navigate Market Volatility The market is never static, and neither should a trader’s approach. In the face of increasing volatility and trade tensions, it’s critical for investors to use the right tools. During the panel on “E-Trading Outlook 2025: A Bull Run or a Bear Struggle?”, Diego Sosa, Country Manager of EBC in Mexico, discussed how risk management tools like Contracts for Difference (CFDs) can help traders stay agile in a volatile environment. “In an environment shaped by volatility and trade tensions between Mexico and the U.S., it’s critical for investors to have strategic tools for protection,” said Sosa. “Using instruments like CFDs in a disciplined manner allows for agile responses to unexpected changes without falling into reactive decision-making. The key lies in having a well-informed strategy based on macroeconomic analysis and risk management.” This perspective emphasises that successful trading in uncertain times requires not only the right instruments but also the discipline to use them strategically. Building Relationships with Local Communities One of the most valuable aspects of iFX EXPO LATAM 2025 was the opportunity to engage with local financial communities. From brokers to first-time traders, these conversations were enlightening and helped EBC understand the unique challenges faced by traders in the region. Our commitment to the Latin American market goes beyond offering financial products; it’s about forging partnerships with local brokers, fintech companies, and educational institutions to provide tailored solutions. EBC’s Vision for Expanding in Latin America As we continue our expansion in Latin America, with our entry into Mexico as just the first step, EBC remains dedicated to adapting our approach to meet the unique needs of each market. We aim to be a resource that offers more than just financial tools – we want to build trust, provide access to critical information, and ensure that traders feel confident in their decisions. José Manuel Herrera, EBC’s Regional Manager for Latin America, shared: “Investing isn’t just about capital — it’s about trust and knowledge. Our role is to help people make more informed decisions and gain access to tools that once felt out of reach. Events like this are an opportunity to listen, learn, and exchange ideas that enrich the financial community.” Looking Ahead: EBC’s Commitment to LATAM Traders EBC’s presence at iFX EXPO LATAM 2025 underscores our long-term commitment to Latin American traders. We’re focused on providing the tools, education, and local support necessary to help traders succeed in today’s volatile markets. As we continue to expand our presence across the region, we’re excited about the partnerships and innovations that lie ahead. Our goal is simple: to make trading smarter, more accessible, and more sustainable for Latin American traders.
