StoneX Group Inc. launched a new Securitization Banking, Lending & Capital Markets platform on March 26, 2026, adding a dedicated structured‑finance arm to its existing fixed‑income sales and trading business.
The platform, led by Rob Sannicandro, a seasoned structured‑finance professional with more than two decades of experience at major Wall Street institutions, is designed to provide clients with tailored capital‑markets solutions, lending options, and investment opportunities across a broad range of asset classes, with a focus on non‑traditional sectors where demand for sophisticated financing is growing.
"Clients are increasingly looking for partners who can help them navigate complex financing structures and unlock value across specialized asset classes," said Robert Laforte, Global Head of Fixed Income Sales. "By expanding our capabilities in securitization banking, lending, and capital markets, we are building on the strength of our fixed‑income offering to deliver more integrated financing and capital‑markets solutions," added Laforte. "StoneX has built a powerful institutional platform with deep market connectivity," said Sannicandro. "The opportunity now is to extend that foundation into structured finance by delivering creative, disciplined financing solutions across a range of asset sectors where demand for capital and structuring expertise continues to grow."
StoneX’s transformation from a transactional broker into a full‑service financial utility network is reflected in this launch. By leveraging its established fixed‑income infrastructure and client relationships, the company can tap higher‑margin opportunities in structured finance and deepen its presence in the institutional credit market. The focus on non‑traditional asset sectors positions StoneX to meet growing client demand for complex financing solutions that are not served by peers concentrating solely on traditional fixed‑income products.
StoneX’s recent financial performance underscores the company’s capacity to support this expansion. In fiscal Q1 2026, the firm reported record net operating revenues of $724.4 million and net income of $139.0 million, with diluted earnings per share of $2.50. The quarter followed a record Q4 2025 net operating revenue of $585.1 million and net income of $85.7 million, and a full‑year 2025 operating revenue of $4.1 billion with net income of $305.9 million.
The new structured‑finance platform positions StoneX to capture higher‑margin opportunities, deepen its institutional credit footprint, and support the broader strategy of expanding its service offering beyond traditional fixed‑income products. By building on existing strengths and targeting high‑growth, non‑traditional asset sectors, StoneX aims to strengthen its competitive position and create new revenue streams in a rapidly evolving market.
