NEW YORK – September 26, 2014 – Seabury Financial Solutions LLC (d/b/a FXone), a subsidiary of Seabury Capital LLC and a provider of market leading liquidity management system, announced today that it would introduce comprehensive Execution Algorithms and Transaction Cost Analysis (TCA) to its market leading liquidity management platform to deliver an enhanced product suite for institutional FX e-trading.

To spearhead this key product initiative, FXone named Zo Abed Head of Execution Algorithms & TCA, who will lead development efforts to establish a stand-alone execution algorithm and TCA solution complete with a suite of algos, analytics, and the all-important monitoring and intervention tools.

FXone President & Chief Executive Officer Rosario M. Ingargiola underscored that the company is “experiencing rapid growth with its market leading platform” in response to a significant demand in the market for top technology with a commercial model that has no up-front costs to clients and no charges to liquidity providers. “We believe our growth trajectory is inextricably linked, however, to delivering transparency and control over liquidity and execution to clients. A key part of our strategy involves provision of bank neutral execution algorithms for best execution and TCA tools.”

Rosario added, “Therefore, Mr. Abed is best suited to lead the development of our algorithms and TCA tools. We’re very pleased to have him in this important role, and look forward to unveiling these new powerful tools in the very near-term.”

“I’m very thrilled to join the FXone team and contribute to the extension of FXone’s product suite,” said Zo Abed. “I’ve been living and breathing Algorithmic Trading products for the last 12 years. I look forward to working with the team to develop and deliver sophisticated trading ‘Automatons,’ which will certainly give our clients an edge over their competitors.”
