Best Non-Bank FCM
In December of 2019, RJ O’Brien was given the FOW International Award for Best Non-Bank FCM
This marks the fourth year in a row, a panel of judges, selected RJO as Best Non-Bank FCM following a survey in which participants where asked which non-bank FCM had the largest impact in 2019.
Luke Jeffs, the Managing Editor of Global Investor Group, praised RJO saying, “”R.J. O’Brien has demonstrated its market leadership this year by continuing to diversify its geographic reach and enhancing its senior management.”
RJO Chairman and CEO Gerry Corcoran was very appreciative of this recognition saying “It is truly gratifying to earn this wonderful recognition four years in a row. This has been another monumental year for RJO, including further building on our global presence, launching innovative new products and fortifying our commitment to strategic expansion, following record growth in 2018. Our incredible team, outstanding board and loyal client base continue to help us stand out in our field. Thanks to FOW for the honor.”
As previously mentioned, the FOW was not the only award the parent company of RJO Futures received.
Best FCM – Client Services
For the second consecutive year, the magazine CTA Intelligence, recognized RJO for their excellence in Client Services by giving them the 2018 award for Best FCM – Client Services. The award recognizes U.S. based service providers in the managed futures industry who demonstrate world class customer service and product innovation and growth over the past year.
RJO is no stranger to winning CTA Intelligence awards. This year’s award marks the firm’s third, and second consecutive, Client Services award and sixth award overall.
RJO Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Gerald Corcoran, felt gratification winning this award, saying, “We are truly dedicated to providing outstanding client service so winning this category – particularly against some of the biggest banks in the world – is very gratifying. Thanks to CTA Intelligence for celebrating the art of service and selecting RJO once again.
