Andrey Dashin
Andrey Dashin, owner of Alpari and FXTM, commented:
This decision was taken with the successful international development of both of my companies in mind. Today, Alpari is showing strong, steady growth and is expanding effectively. For example, the brand’s trading turnover grew by 45% in the first quarter of 2018 to top 429bn USD. On the back of an influx of new clients, Alpari’s global market development strategy is increasingly focused on working in highly competitive areas.
These progressive changes to the company’s management will strengthen Alpari’s and FXTM’s management structure, improve coordination, and have a positive effect on day-to-day operations.
