Online trading provider Pepperstone has signed a deal to become the official partner of leading Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) organisation UFC in Asia.
The strategic tie-up will see UFC in Asia give the trading provider brand a boost through UFC in Asia’s marketing channels.
Pepperstone group CEO Tamas Szabo said: “We are thrilled to join forces with UFC. We choose to partner with like-minded organisations focused on a shared passion, drive and commitment to raising the game, and we look forward to building a winning partnership together.”
Pepperstone currently serves clients in more than 160 countries. The firm was founded in 2010 in Australia and now has over 400,000 active clients around the world.
The trading platform offers spread betting and CFDs on 1,200 market instruments, focusing on the most heavily traded assets, such as forex and indices trading.
The Good Money Guide’s September review of the company found it to be “a good choice for traders that want to automate their trading strategies through MT4.
“As far as MT4 brokers they are one of the biggest and best,” it noted.
The partnership appears to be aimed at raising awareness of the company throughout Asia., with UFC claiming to have more than 700 million fans and around 290 million social media followers globally.
UFC is part of TKO Group Holdings and is headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Nick Smith, vice president of global partnerships for TKO said: “We’re thrilled to welcome Pepperstone into the UFC family as our first official partner. Pepperstone is an innovator and disruptor in their industry, much like UFC has been in combat sports for more than three decades.
“We’re looking forward to working with the great team from Pepperstone to leverage our platforms to drive awareness for their brand among our massive fan base, one of the most loyal and passionate in all of sports.”
