Finalto, a company owned by Hong Kong-based Gopher Investments, is saying goodbye to Matthew Maloney, who is leaving his job as Group Chief Executive Officer. The reason for his exit has not been shared. The company chose to talk about this change in a post on its website instead of answering questions directly.
In its post, Finalto explained that Matthew had worked at the company for ten years and had decided to start a new chapter in his career. The company said his time there had helped different parts of the business grow. Finalto also wished him success in the future.
Finalto Aims For Growth And Innovation Following Leadership Changes
Paul Groves, Chief Executive Officer of Finalto Financial Services, shared that the company valued Maloney’s efforts in helping the business.
He mentioned that even though Maloney would no longer be in the leadership team, his work would always be part of Finalto’s story. He added that the company would keep focusing on new ideas and growth.
Maloney took on the top role in late 2022, where he looked after all parts of Finalto Group. Before that, he led Finalto’s two UK businesses, Finalto Financial Services and Finalto Trading.
Gopher Investments chose Maloney for this role after buying Finalto from Playtech in a $250 million cash deal. He took over from Ron Hoffman, who stepped down when Gopher took control of the company. Around the same time, Liron Greenbaum, who was the Group Chief Operating Officer, also left.
Finalto Focuses On Business Growth And Strong Financial Performance
Finalto used to be TradeTech Group. It provides services to businesses and individual traders. The company focuses on business services under the Finalto name, while its retail trading services work under the Markets.com brand. The company has offices in the United Kingdom, Cyprus, Australia, South Africa, Singapore, and the British Virgin Islands.
Maloney has worked in finance for about 30 years. Before joining Finalto, he was the Chief Executive Officer of CFH Clearing Limited, a company that helped traders by providing liquidity before it became part of Finalto. He has also worked at TTT Moneycorp, FTSE International, the London Stock Exchange, and PricewaterhouseCoopers.
Two UK businesses under Finalto, Finalto Trading Limited and Finalto Financial Services Limited, ended 2023 with total earnings of more than $74.1 million. This was about 7.9% lower than the year before.
However, the company’s profit grew from $6 million in 2022 to $13 million in 2023, showing an increase of 116%. At the same time, Finalto Trading is moving its clients to its sister company, Finalto Financial Services.
