INTL FCStone

The story of StoneX Group begins not in a high-rise, but with farmers. In 1924, Saul Stone started a door-to-door business selling agricultural commodities, laying the groundwork for a company built on risk management for everyday producers. This firm, Saul Stone & Co., was the seed. Separately, in 1987, another piece of the puzzle emerged. International Assets Holding Corporation was founded with a focus on providing financial services in emerging markets. This set the stage for a powerful combination. A pivotal moment arrived in 2009 when International Assets Holding Corporation acquired FCStone Group, which itself was the successor to Saul Stone & Co.. This merger created INTL FCStone, a firm combining deep roots in agricultural commodities with a broader international financial services platform. The company's journey continued with its 2011 acquisition of the futures business of MF Global, further expanding its reach. In 2020, the company rebranded to StoneX Group Inc., a name reflecting its evolution from a commodities broker to a diversified global financial services network. This wasn't just a name change; it was a statement of a broader ambition. Today, StoneX provides a wide array of services, including commercial hedging, global payments, and securities trading, staying true to its origins of helping clients navigate complex and volatile markets.
