MFX Vector enables buy-side clients to access a product that has previously only been available to top-tier banks. For the first time, users are able to place orders with the knowledge and security that they will not be adversely affected, something that until now has only been available to the largest banks in the world.

Before joining Morgan Stanley, Hopkins spent several years at Bloomberg, eventually reaching the position of Head of FX Electronic Trading.

Commenting on the matter, Hopkins said: “At a time of rapid and unprecedented change in FX it is exciting to be at the very forefront of technological innovation, working alongside some of the most respected names in the industry."
