NEW YORK, March 8, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- INTL FCStone Inc. (NASDAQ: INTL) today announced that the FCM Division of its wholly owned subsidiary, INTL FCStone Financial Inc. ("the Company"), was named as the Best Independent FCM (futures commission merchant) at the 2018 CTA Intelligence U.S. Performance Awards.

INTL FCStone Financial provides full-service, 24-hour futures and options brokerage, advisory, clearing and execution services on all major commodity exchanges worldwide.  The Company is one of the largest FCMs in the U.S. but is not affiliated with a major financial institution or commodity intermediary, end-user, or producer, enabling it to maintain flexibility and the ability to pivot to meet changing client demands.  INTL FCStone Financial's risk management consulting services aim to identify, quantify and mitigate customer exposure to commodity price and financial market volatility.  By naming the Company as Best Independent FCM, CTA Intelligence recognizes INTL FCStone Financial's comprehensive and unique combination of execution, clearing, and advisory services.

Vincent Angelico, Head of Clearing and Execution Services at INTL FCStone Financial Inc., commented on today's news, "We are honored to be recognized as the Best Independent FCM by CTA Intelligence.  This award is indicative of the quality of our services as well as our team's dedication to serving the unique needs of every client.  We provide best-in-class execution and clearing solutions in order to promote efficiency and transparency for our clients, and are deeply committed to their success.  I would like to thank the dedication of our entire team as we continue to cement our leadership position in the FCM and broader commodities industries, as well as across asset classes and markets globally."

INTL FCStone Financial's execution, clearing and advisory services in exchange-traded futures, as well as OTC products through its sister company, INTL FCStone Markets, LLC, span virtually all traded commodity markets, with the largest concentrations in agriculture, energy, and base metals listed on the LME.  The Company adds value for clients across global financial markets by helping them to systematically identify and quantify exposures to commodity price risks.
