Welcome to the future of trading

• Unified Trading Architecture

It is not enough to simply understand the
changing needs of the buy side. Leading-edge
brokerages are doing something about it. They are
using the growth in low touch channels, but not
forgetting the value of the high touch trading
channels they already have. Those that are able
to combine these two areas in new ways will
redefine their value-add to the market.
