INTL FCStone Inc. is a Fortune 500 company, providing customers across the globe with execution and advisory
services in commodities, capital markets, currencies, asset management and more.
OUR HERITAGE
The heritage of INTL FCStone dates back to 1924 when a door-to-door egg wholesaler founded a business called
Saul Stone and Company. Through organic growth, acquisitions and the 2009 merger between International
Assets Holding Corporation and FCStone Group, we have become a global, Fortune 500  nancial services
organization. Today, INTL FCStone is relied upon by thousands of customers around the world for our wide array
of services — many of which are not off ered by any other organization of our type – and our in-depth industry
knowledge and expertise.
WHO WE ARE TODAY
INTL FCStone’s customers include the producers, processors and end users of virtually every major traded
commodity; commercial counterparties; governmental, non-governmental and charitable organizations;
institutional investors; brokers; professional traders; commercial banks; and major investment banks.
We off er these customers a comprehensive array of products and services. Among these services are our
proprietary Integrated Risk Management Program (IRMP®), as well as exchange and OTC execution and clearing
services, designed to limit risk and enhance margins and bottom-line results; physical trading in base metals,
precious metals and grains; a global foreign exchange and currency payment service; asset management; equities
market-making; securities execution and trading; and investment banking advisory services.
Our strategy is to utilize a centralized and disciplined process for capital allocation, risk management and cost
control, while delegating the execution of strategic objectives and day-to-day management to experienced
individuals. This requires high-quality managers, a clear communication of performance objectives and strong
fi nancial and compliance controls. We believe this strategy will enable us to build a scalable and signifi cantly
larger organization that embraces an entrepreneurial approach to business, supported and underpinned by
strong central controls.
As our company continues to expand its worldwide reach and its range of services, one thing will remain the
same: Our unwavering emphasis on providing our customers with the highest level of service and expertise.
