Sales Trading

Your objectives.  Our mandate.

With our agency model we never compete with our clients’ order flow. Our primary objective is to use our expertise and global solutions to be the savvy, unbiased partner you need.  We focus on a consultative approach, working with you on a one-to-one basis to connect you to the best-of-breed solutions, service, training and support you require to work as effectively as possible.  We provide superior multi-asset class execution in equities, fixed income, U.S. exchange-listed options and ADRs/GDRs.

Your trusted, unbiased partner navigating global markets.

As sales traders, our experienced staff acts as an extension of our clients’ desks, actively sourcing all major markets and centers of liquidity and managing complex, transactable order flow.  Our professional sales traders leverage all of our advanced capabilities to help you enhance your investment performance, offering extensive experience in dealing with multiple securities and markets simultaneously, as well as settling in some of the world’s most complex markets.  Our robust execution strategies, combined with our experience, insight, and knowledge of global market structure, enable our sales traders to provide color and navigate fragmented markets to seek and manage liquidity with minimal market impact and latency.
