SGM-FX company news

SGM-FX held its annual Bake-Off Competition today, and it was a day filled with sugar, joy and fun! The competition was fierce, with a series of very competitive contestants aiming for the top spot. But in the end, it was Meg Bonello’s vanilla cupcake with raspberry icing which took home the first-place prize, followed by […]

5 years ago, a simple visit to Harrods turned extraordinary when I met Dynamo. This wasn’t just about getting an autograph; it was a meaningful moment that connected my quiet passion for magic with the artist who had inspired it. Magic has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, […]

I’ve always loved a market. Probably a good job I ended up working in one in the form of the foreign exchange market. As those new joiners (un)fortunate enough to join my team will find out, I don’t see financial markets as all that different to those traditional non-financial markets. They are governed by the […]

2023 was another challenging year, and 1st of May ‘Workers Day’ the beginning of another chapter in my working career, and this time it started here in London. Although this was not my first day at the new office being a bank holiday, it was an amazing day, beautiful weather which I seemed to have […]

Previous business trips over the past 40 years had not prepared me for the October SGM-FX Malta Board Meeting. Indeed regular monthly visits to Valletta the island’s capital had not given any indication that this time things were definitely going to be different.  The Board Meeting itself was as it turned out uneventful and passed […]

Diving into ‘The 48 Laws of Power’ by Robert Greene is like taking a crazy ride through the world of strategy and cunning. Published in ’98, it’s a book that feels like a guide to being a modern-day ninja, blending historical tales with lessons that make you wonder if you’re reading a guide to success […]

Every year my wife and I try and get away for trips to different areas of the UK. Out of all the places that we visit, we find ourselves returning down to Cornwall where we can explore so many different and stunning areas all within such close distance of each other. Whilst I cannot do […]

I was recently lucky enough to visit Santorini. A Greek Island based in the southern Aegean Sea famous amongst visitors for its stunning sunsets, whitewashed buildings with blue domes and crystal-clear waters.  Staying in Fira, the capital of the island, I was easily able to navigate my way around using the very reasonably priced and […]

As is annual tradition at SGM-FX, every January we hold a Bake-Off competition.  I’ve been lucky enough to have been placed a few times but imagine my delight (and amazement!) when I was voted 1st prize this year for my blueberry and pear galette.  If you like a not too sweet, easy to make, treat, […]

You should have deduced from our employee blogs that there are a few fairly competent athletes within the hallowed walls of SGM-FX and SGM-FX Malta. You should not mistake my contributions to those blogs for evidence that I would exude even a bead of competency within a sporting arena. I’m the proud holder of the […]

October is knocking at our doorstep, and it is the month of the yearly Rolex Middle Sea Race, probably the most important event our majestic grand harbour has, for the past few years, started to host as the starting point. Over 100 sailing boats, from the world class trimarans and monohulls to the 30 metre […]

Having been fortunate enough to have driven some of the greatest coast roads in the world, it was with some anticipation that I set out from Inverness in June 2021. Not that I was expecting the northernmost part of Scotland to be like the Great Ocean Road in Southern Australia, nor like Highway One on […]
