Before his position as Chairman of Traders Club International, Shaun Taylor led an extensive and impressive career. From 1992-97 he managed 65 dealers as an equity trader for a London boutique stockbroker. In 1998, he launched HiFX plc which became one of the fastest growing companies in the UK. Over a 16-year period HiFX plc gained a world class reputation as the true alternative to the high street banks when making currency payments abroad.

HiFX had offices all over the world with a workforce in excess of 300 individuals and a turnover in excess of £9BLN in FX payments per annum. In 2014, HiFX plc was sold to Euronet a Nasdaq listed company for the sum of £145 million. Post the sale of HiFX Shaun has successfully bought and sold a number of property development projects both in the UK and Spain. In 2018, Shaun also became Chairman of Oceanline Marine, a highly successful independent yacht and chartered broking business in the Mediterranean.

This month SOCIETY MARBELLA’s editor gets up close and personal with the brains behind HiFX and gets to know the real Shaun and why he decided to launch his latest venture on our doorstep.  


Shaun why have you decided to launch Traders Club International here in Marbella?

I originally pioneered the concept of TCI when I recognised 92% of retail investors lose money trading, only 8% make money and of which 0.8% make most of the money. This is largely down to a lack of knowledge, experience and depth of understanding across a range of financial products. I then assembled a team of talented traders with a proven and accomplished track record spanning over 100 plus years in equities, bonds, forex and commodities while working for financial institutions, hedge funds and investment banks.
