Our story

About us

Between us, Callum and Josh have spent over 15 years in FX. What we found was that large investors and shareholders naturally want growth month by month. That pressure pushes management to chase short-term revenue gains, which in turn incentivises sales and dealing teams to widen margins and pricing once trust is established, or to persuade clients to hedge when hedging isn't actually the right fit for them.

We didn't like it. Neither of us wanted to be the one making that call to a client we actually liked, someone we had a real relationship with. So we left and built a brokerage we'd actually recommend to a friend running a business.

What's actually different here

We're independent

Kinetic Exchange is independent. There are no shareholders or investors leaning on us to hit short-term numbers, so there's no incentive to let pricing creep once a relationship is established. We're not optimising for this quarter, we're optimising for the relationship lasting long term, which means what's good for the client and what's good for us are the same thing.

We keep our client base small

We also deliberately keep our client base small, as we believe this allows us to understand each client's business well enough to deliver a genuinely high-grade service, and to stay as available as clients need us to be, something that gets difficult once you're managing a large book of accounts.

Where we can't help, we know who can

We're integrated with a handful of leading providers who give us the regulation and security we need to offer a wide range of products. But we can't cover every single problem out there with a handful of partners. Where we can't help directly, we draw on a wide network of relationships across the industry to match you with the right counterparty, so your issue still gets solved, even if it's not solved under our own roof.

If any of this resonates, we'd love to have a chat and see how we can help.
