ITIntroduction of oil and gas to the CFD markets
In
2000 , several members of the current One Financial senior management facilitated the introduction of the trading of oil and gas CFDs to the Middle East retail market. This had a profound impact on the CFD business at large in the region, which had been undergoing a steady decline in Private Client CFD activity, due to both lower levels of volatility and liquidity across traditional forex markets, with investors consequently turning away from international markets and toward the local stock markets.Key personnel
Under Managing Director Christopher Thomas, the One Financial team has quickly established a strong brand awareness in the marketplace, having seen steady growth in client take-on, transaction volumes and Partner relationships since launch.
The Senior Trading team is headed up by Chief Dealer Andrew “AJ” Henderson. AJ recruited a number of senior professionals with high level experience in their fields from various companies, including Goldman Sachs and CMC Markets.
