Finalto Welcomes Antony Parsons as Head of Liquidity

Finalto are pleased to introduce their new Head of Liquidity, Antony Parsons. He takes the reins from Andy Biggs, who has become the company’s new Group Head of Risk and Trading. Parsons has a wealth of experience which will be a valuable contribution to Finalto’s award-winning liquidity team.

He joins the company at a fantastic time, with the second award win of the year still fresh from the press. Finalto won Best B2B Liquidity Provider (Prime of Prime) at the FMLS22 Awards, just five months after winning the same award at the Ultimate Fintech Awards in June.

Asked for his comments on the award win, Parsons said: “I’m not surprised. Finalto has always been up there as one of the best Liquidity Providers.” He added that in his previous positions in the finance industry he was aware of Finalto’s positive reputation as a liquidity provider.

“The team has a got a great way of looking at the data, they look after everything very strategically”.

Parsons has over 15 years of experience, including ten years at Sucden Financial Limited where he began in Operations and supporting the EFX front desk, before working up to the position of Deputy Head of EFX Coverage. He moved on to ADM Investor Services International Limited, before joining us as Head of Liquidity at Finalto.

Matthew Maloney, Group CEO of Finalto, said: “We are delighted to welcome industry expert Anthony Parsons to the team. He will be instrumental in our efforts to lead the market in what is best practice.”

Parsons has already got the ball rolling on a number of projects and is looking to improve the liquidity offering globally to better reflect Finalto’s international position. He is hoping there will be some developments ready to deliver in the next few quarters.

Following a year of volatility in 2022, Parsons says there’s plenty of scope for more volatility as we move into 2023. He said: “The volatility may well continue, we will be focused on the central banks’ strategies to manage inflation and other global events – there are a lot of aspects still in play that can create volatility. Our job, then, is to work with our clients and liquidity providers to ensure our liquidity stays competitive.”
