OnePrime’s Jerry Khargi on Infrastructure and the Future of Institutional Trading

During the Finance Magnates London Summit 2025, we sat down with Jerry Khargi, Executive Director at OnePrime, for an in-depth executive interview exploring the evolution of trading infrastructure, institutional liquidity, and the values that shape long-term success in financial markets.

Interviewed by Andrea Badiola Mateos, Co-CEO at Finance Magnates, the conversation offered insights into how OnePrime leverages experience, technology, and ethics to support brokers globally, particularly those navigating today’s increasingly complex institutional trading environment.

Why OnePrime’s Infrastructure Stands Out

At FMLS:25, OnePrime was already fresh off a significant milestone: winning the Finance Magnates Annual Award for Best Trading Infrastructure Broker.

According to Khargi, the distinction lies not in technology alone, but in knowing how to use it effectively.

OnePrime’s infrastructure is built on decades of trial, error, and refinement. That experience enables the company to anticipate failures, optimise system usage, and guide brokers through challenges they may not yet foresee. Khargi likened this approach to mentorship—offering guidance without restricting independence.

Rather than simply providing tools, OnePrime provides confidence: assurance that the infrastructure supporting a broker’s business is battle-tested and fit for purpose.

Institutional Trading Trends: Technology and AI Take Center Stage

When discussing current trends and pain points in institutional trading, Khargi pointed to rapid technological advancement as both an opportunity and a challenge.

Bridges, execution technology, and system integration have become increasingly sophisticated, while artificial intelligence is beginning to shape the next phase of market infrastructure. Staying ahead requires constant engagement with technology providers and a willingness to adapt.

Events like FMLS play a crucial role here, offering a real-time snapshot of where the industry is heading, and where firms like OnePrime must focus next to serve their clients better.

Integrity as a Competitive Advantage

On a personal level, Khargi highlighted ethics, transparency, and reputation as his proudest achievements over more than two decades in the industry.

He stressed that OnePrime and its affiliated brands grew organically, without cutting corners or withholding information. In his view, openness builds stronger partnerships and long-term trust, while reputation remains a firm’s most valuable asset.

This philosophy extends internally as well, with a culture defined by a relentless work ethic and deep personal commitment from the company’s founders.

The Next 12–24 Months for OnePrime

Looking to the future, Khargi outlined a dual growth strategy across both retail and institutional segments, with a strong emphasis on continued investment in technology.

He sees OnePrime expanding its role as a knowledge leader, offering not just infrastructure, but education and transparency that empower brokers to scale sustainably. While the exact shape of future innovation may still be forming, Khargi is confident that technology will remain the driving force.

Above all, OnePrime aims to uphold the moral compass on which it was founded, ensuring growth never comes at the expense of integrity.
