Tal Dar has joined AlpFin as Managing Director after spending over three and a half years as Head of eFX and Derivatives at Vantage Connect, the institutional division of Vantage. The appointment signals AlpFin’s aggressive push to expand its institutional brokerage and liquidity solutions business. Dar brings 15 years of institutional FX and CFDs experience, having previously managed relationships with hedge funds, family offices, banks, and asset managers at Vantage Connect.
AlpFin has been actively scaling its institutional operations, recently partnering with Lucera to enhance FX connectivity infrastructure and bolstering its liquidity and operations teams. Dar previously held senior institutional roles at PhillipCapital London and Gildencrest Capital, and currently serves as Associate Director at the UK-GCC Private Capital Alliance, connecting sovereign wealth and investment capital across Europe, the UK, and Gulf regions.
The move reflects intensifying competition in institutional FX liquidity provision as established players strengthen leadership teams to capture market share.
