Andrew Taylor commented on his new role at Scope Prime:
“I’m delighted to be joining the talented ranks of the Rostro Group and look forward to solidifying and growing the Scope brand and its offering within the Asia-Pacific region. The company’s innovative way of providing competitive liquidity across such a diverse range of markets addresses the recurrent client need for comprehensive multi-asset access from a single provider. With demand for these services in APAC markets growing fast, supporting this with a physical presence will without doubt help cement Scope’s position in the region.”
