Managed Trading Services: Thriving in a Commoditized Marketplace
Firms coping with limited resources are looking outside their walls to maintain their overall trading capabilities.
Boston, April 4, 2014 – Markets trade faster than ever before, but overall market conditions have been stagnant at best, and participants are being squeezed by externalities while navigating intense competition. As the institutional trading market continues to quicken, even traditional asset managers, mid-market broker-dealers, and hedge funds are turning to single-digit-millisecond trading infrastructure to remain competitive. But how can they develop and maintain a robust trading infrastructure without breaking the bank … or diverging too far from their core business? Outsourced managed trading services are proving ideal for many.
