ConvergEx Group, a leading technology company, today announced that RealTick®, its award‐winning provider of global, cross‐asset class, multi‐broker trading, data and risk solutions, continued to greatly expand its global broker network with the addition of 97 broker‐dealers in 2012. This substantial growth represents a dramatic increase over the previous year, nearly doubling the number of sell‐side firms brought onboard by RealTick in 2011.
Expansion of the broker network lies at the heart of RealTick’s overall strategy to provide workflow efficiency and multi‐asset execution capabilities within a single, consolidated trading platform, and is part of RealTick’s ongoing initiative to provide the most complete asset class coverage. RealTick’s EMS delivers a powerful suite of trading tools to large financial institutions, mid‐tier firms and boutique brokerages that is equally versatile, comprehensive and effective for each customer type.
"The continued strong growth of our global broker‐dealer network means broad access to diverse liquidity sources for all of our customers,” said Ian Mawdsley, head of international business development for ConvergEx’s RealTick. “We are providing our customers with an extensive choice of destinations for global cross‐asset trading from a single, comprehensive EMS platform."
RealTick’s multi‐broker network provides customers with world‐wide access to more than 2,000 competitive trading strategies across asset classes. The continued growth of RealTick’s broker‐dealer community means greater opportunities for customers to reach diverse liquidity sources.
