Having originally trained as a classical singer, Graham began working for Midland before joining the Institutional FX team at HSBC – his first week in the market coinciding with the LTCM meltdown in 1998. He insists the two events are not connected. Over 10 years with HSBC he worked on a variety of desks, primarily covering hedge fund and leveraged clients – but also working with real money accounts, central banks and custodial clients – giving him a broad knowledge of the market and its participants. After stints covering hedge fund clients at ING, NAB and Cantor Fitzgerald, Graham set up InTouchFX in 2013, and FX Effects in 2017. FX Effects has become a leading provider of real time market commentary and intelligence services to a wide variety of institutional clients including banks, hedge funds, real money funds, agency brokers, prop shops and wealth managers In a world of algorithmic trading and AI, FX Effects look to provide the human touch, whilst utilising the latest technology and resources. We look to present complicated information simply and without bias - believing this “human overlay” helps provide perspective and opportunity for our clients.
