OneZero has named Stephen Totten as director of quantitative analysis – the news was first reported in The Full FX weekly newsletter on January 10.

Totten joins from UniCredit, where he was global head of e-FX, prior to which he was a portfolio manager at Citadel Investment Group, responsible for developing macro and FX strategies – he has also worked for Morgan Stanley’s FX business.

At OneZero, Totten will be responsible for advancing the firm’s investments in analytics, focusing on solutions for institutional brokers, regional banks, asset managers, PTF’s and ecosystem liquidity partners. The analytics package enables clients to optimise market access, customer pricing, and risk management strategies to efficiently capture the maximum value from their franchise while staying within their risk tolerances.

“OneZero have long recognised that knowledge that can be gleaned through analytics is fundamental to achieving the objectives of their clients, and have a fantastic data source product,” says Totten. “I look forward to working on building the next generation of analytics and automated optimisation tools for our clients and liquidity providers to further enhance their pricing and risk management.”

Phil Weisberg, EVP of strategic planning and partnerships at OneZero, adds, “At OneZero, we have always looked at aggregation as one part of a holistic e-commerce solution that also includes customer pricing, risk management and the feedback mechanism which analytics provide to enable our clients’ business strategy to impact real time decisions.”
