After Nearly 4 Years at Vantage Connect, Institutional FX Executive Joins AlpFin as Managing Director

Tal Dar has joined
AlpFin as Managing Director, bringing experience from senior institutional FX
and CFDs roles, most recently at Vantage Connect.

The appointment comes
as AlpFin continues to expand its institutional business. Earlier, the
firm partnered with Lucera to strengthen its FX connectivity for institutional
clients and expanded its liquidity and operations team.

Commenting on the
appointment, Dar said: “Having spent the last 15 years in the
institutional FX and CFDs industry, I’m excited to be joining AlpFin to help
drive the firm’s next phase of growth across institutional brokerage and
liquidity solutions.”

Leadership Across Institutional FX and
Investment

Before joining AlpFin,
Dar spent more than three and a half years as Head of eFX & Derivatives at
Vantage Connect, the institutional arm of Vantage. In that role, he led the
company’s institutional business, working with hedge funds, family offices, banks,
brokers, and asset managers.

Dar joined Vantage Connect after the
business was launched as Vantage’s institutional arm to provide liquidity
and trading solutions for institutional clients.

Alongside that
position, he has served as Associate Director at the UK-GCC Private Capital
Alliance for just over a year, connecting sovereign wealth funds, private
equity firms, venture capital investors, limited partners, strategic investors,
and businesses across the UK, the Gulf region, Europe, and the United States.
