StoneX wins Best Agency Broker at the 2026 Global Markets Choice Awards
StoneX has been named Best Agency Broker at the 2026 Global Markets Choice Awards, a recognition that highlights the firm's commitment to delivering transparent market access, execution expertise, and client-focused solutions across global financial markets.
Hosted by Markets Media, the Global Markets Choice Awards recognize excellence across capital markets trading, technology, and market infrastructure, celebrating the firms shaping the future of global markets. The awards have evolved into a global program that reflects the increasingly interconnected nature of modern financial markets and honors innovation, performance, and leadership across the industry.
For StoneX, the Best Agency Broker category is a meaningful one. Agency brokerage sits at the core of what the firm does for institutional clients: execution across equities, fixed income, FX, and listed derivatives, without the conflicts that can come from running a proprietary book alongside client flow. The model is straightforward, but making it work at scale, across asset classes and timezones, is a different matter.
"Being recognized as Best Agency Broker is a tremendous honor because it reflects the trust our clients place in us every day," said Philip Smith, CEO.
"Our role is simple: to help clients navigate increasingly complex and fragmented markets with confidence. We remain focused on providing transparent execution, deep market expertise, and access to the liquidity and insights our clients need to pursue their objectives."
The recognition comes at a time when market participants face a rapidly evolving trading landscape. Increased market volatility, geopolitical uncertainty, regulatory change, and growing demands for best execution have elevated the importance of trusted agency partners capable of delivering both sophisticated execution capabilities and personalized support.
StoneX serves a diverse client base spanning institutional investors, commercial firms, corporations, and financial institutions, connecting them to global markets through a broad range of execution, clearing, custody, and risk management solutions.
"Markets continue to evolve at an unprecedented pace. Our focus has always been on helping clients access opportunity while managing complexity. This award is recognition of the expertise of our teams around the world and the value we strive to deliver across every client interaction," added Philip Smith.
The award further reinforces StoneX's position as a trusted partner across the global financial ecosystem. By combining institutional-grade infrastructure with deep market knowledge and a client-first approach, StoneX continues to help market participants access opportunities across asset classes and geographies.
As financial markets become increasingly interconnected, StoneX remains committed to investing in the technology, expertise, and capabilities that help clients make informed decisions and execute with confidence.
