Refinitiv Pledges 3 Days-Worth of Fees to Bushfires
All AUD forex turnover fees earned from February 4 to 7 AEST will go straight to Australian bushfires, says Refinitiv. These include spot, forwards, swaps, and options traded on the company’s platforms Matching and FXALL for all AUD pairs.
The money donated will be in support of Australian charities, volunteer firefighters, and communities impacted by the tragedies.
Managing Director Daryl Sisson encourages the forex community to help the company maximize relief efforts.
Refinitive employee-led Pacific Sustainable Action team will hold fundraising events in the coming weeks. Additionally, Chief Revenue Officer Deborah Walton was pleased to see all parts of their businesses responding well to the crisis.
The provider is also fundraising through its TicketAid solution.
Previous efforts for the Australian bushfires include Invast Global’s one-day donations for January 30. Their most supportive clients came from those outside the country.
Moreover, Pepperstone donated AU$50,000 to the Victoria Country Fire Authority Bushfire Disaster Appeal, in addition to bushfire-related charities over six weeks.
Since the fires started in September, the bushfires killed at least 33 people and more than 1 billion animals. As a result, the smoke emitted destroyed an area the size of Greece as it streams around the Southern Hemisphere.
Refinitiv Set with Stone
Financial markets data provider Refinitiv appointed Andrea Remyn Stone as the Chief Customer Proposition Officer last January 13. The executive’s arrival was ultimately for the launch of a new Data Platform later this year.
Stone will work with customers for opening platform tech collaboration for the future of its clients. CEO David Craig was proud to welcome her for her “deep understanding of her experience,” which will prove invaluable.
Her expertise in data, analytics, trading, and risk assessment markets will help the company develop next-generation solutions, he added.
Stone led the market data company Dealogic as the Chief Strategy Officer for three years. There, she was responsible for developing communications and implementation for its key initiatives.
