StoneX Group Inc.’s Post

In his interview with e-Forex magazine, Gerard Melia, Head of Sales for StoneX Pro, contributes to exploring how the rise of multi-asset trading solutions, technological innovations, and increasing exchange fees are driving change in the way FX brokers think about their business models. "The traditional FXPB model is under pressure from emerging multi-asset brokers who can serve their clients’ needs more effectively than traditional providers," reveals Melia. Do non-bank FXPBs generally offer broader and more cost-effective services than traditional FXPBs? What must firms evaluate when considering partnerships with non-bank FXPBs?

💡It's always worth getting a comparison. One of our real estate partners recently referred a client to us who works within a global financial services company. The client had assumed their institution would achieve the best outcome on a significant property deposit transfer from the US. Unfortunately, they discovered they had lost thousands compared to what TorFX could have achieved, despite their working relationships and connections. 😥 Thankfully, before moving forward with any further transfers, they reached out to us and will complete the property settlement through TorFX to receive better rates and support. However, it's a difficult lesson to learn! TorFX Australia #WealthAdvisors #RealEstateAgents #MigrationAgents #ForeignExchange #MoneyTransfers

In 2019, a whiteboard wall in FastFin’s offices became the birthplace of FX HedgePool. Emin Tatosian and I were knee-deep in capital markets innovation projects for large institutions when Jay Moore, fresh from Brown Brothers Harriman, proposed a brainstorming session. Our kickoff meeting? It was early on a Saturday morning, 85 floors up in One World Trade, fueled by coffee and ideas. Leveraging FastFin’s Innovation Kickstarter and Product Booster methodologies, we transformed a nascent concept into a structured framework. Honed through extensive work on the sell-side, these processes enabled us to rapidly ideate and iterate—turning a whiteboard sketch into a tangible blueprint, fast. In a matter of weeks, FastFin engineers deftly elevated this into a working prototype, with an MVP following shortly after. The real test came with a road trip down I-95 to Malvern, PA—home of Vanguard’s sprawling campus. There, we met with visionary-in-chief Andy Maack, CFA and his exceptional FX trading team, including rising star Alexcia Mazahreh, CFA—who recognized the potential. Their generous leap of faith became a lighthouse to others. Serendipity struck when we went live with our first trades on January 31, 2020—just as the world was about to change. Despite the pandemic's challenges, we persevered. Scroll forward a few years and FX HedgePool had matched several trillion dollars of FX swap flow, onboarded 40+ institutional participants, and integrated with BlackRock Aladdin and Charles River. This story isn’t just about FX HedgePool or FastFin or the individuals named; it’s a heartfelt tribute to the many contributors—both prominent and behind-the-scenes—who made the 5-year project a reality. They included: Benjamin Homa, Matthew Bajorek, Preet Raj, Diana Sung, Benjamin Holder, James Davison, Michael Buchsbaum, Jane Krenitsky, Townsend Smith, CFA, Judith Wheelan, Darren B., Jim Webb, Nicole Morgese Moore, Phelim Keogan, Jean-David Péquignot, Colin Stewart, Richard Estes, Marc Adler, and Simon Hylson-Smith—plus series A investors Information Venture Partners, Fidelity International Strategic Ventures, and National Bank of Canada. Thanks too to the unfailingly gracious Michael O'Brien, CFA, a vocal advocate since day one, and the many backers at our credit provider banks—notably the superb US prime brokerage team at Standard Chartered, whose early belief was vital to getting things going. As David Mercer and LMAX Group take the reins, and FX HedgePool unlocks new synergies within a broader FX technology product portfolio, I'd like to extend a heartfelt thanks to Jay Moore and Emin Tatosian—my fellow travellers on this remarkable journey. Together we started the fire, but you guys sustained it.
