FF NEWS TAKE:

Senior institutional talent moves from tier-one investment banks to non-bank liquidity providers highlight a ongoing structural shift in capital markets. As bank balance sheets tighten under regulatory pressures, independent multi-asset brokers offering robust institutional FX sales capabilities are taking significant market share. Strengthening regional sales leadership is becoming essential for non-bank liquidity providers aiming to capture sophisticated institutional order flow across the EMEA region.
