On Wednesday, we had the privilege of participating in ICAP Charity Day 2024, an inspiring initiative where brokers dedicate an entire day to trading for good—donating all profits to selected charities. It was an incredible opportunity to raise much-needed funds to support our dedicated Marine Rescue NSW volunteers, who give their time to ensure safety on the water. We are deeply grateful to the ICAP team for choosing us as one of their charities this year and for their unwavering commitment to making a positive impact. A special thank you to our fantastic ambassadors on the day: Brendan Jones (‘Jonesy’), Rob Carlton, Corbyn Baxter, Tarryn Aitken and Keely Davis from the Sydney Roosters, Danny Buderus, and Michael Guest.
