Which are the best capitalized brokers that do not hypothecate, and which offer a way to trade that is free of hypothecation through the entire order execution and delivery process (execution, clearing, etc)?

I want to convert a few US$100K to Euros. I don't want to "close" the trade, I simply want to convert US$ to Euros, then transfer those Euros out to either hold in a bank or purchase assets denominated in Euros. Since Banks offer crap conversion rates if you simply contact them and ask them...
