PFGBEST's Leadership
Herb Kral
Director of Trading Systems and Auto Trading for PFGBEST
Herbert (Herb) R. Kral was promoted to this role in 2007 after serving for several years as PFGBEST´s Director of Managed Futures. Herb has honed his skill for accommodating high net worth and high-volume clients by matching these clients to appropriate Commodity Trading Advisors, trading systems and managed futures products.
Beginning his career in the futures industry in 1995 at Linnco Futures in Chicago, Herb was responsible for broker client service and worked with compliance. In 1998 he moved to Lind Waldock and served as a senior account representative. Generating 10% of total division revenues through sales of $8.2 million earned Herb the distinction of top sales representative in 1999. By doubling total division revenues and sales from 1999 to 2000, he remained the top sales representative again for the second year in a row. Herb fostered a new client base adding over one thousand new accounts, generating $32 million worth of business in just two and a half years. In light of Herb’s success cultivating such valuable new business, he was promoted to the role of director of Lind Waldock's Private Client Group.
As director of the systems division with Lind Waldock, Herb produced new business by satisfying high net worth customers and identifying new growth opportunities. Leading a team of three, he coordinated and implemented various programs to increase sales while providing consultation and education to new and existing clients. On top of maintaining $11 million worth of equity, Herb generated $6 million in new customer business via a 30 product offering.
At PFGBEST Herb has contributed to the success of the CTA Challenge, the launch of the CTA Championship Showdown, and has been a part of an explosive growth period in the managed futures business for PFGBEST.
