Hear from our customers and peers
- We’ve enjoyed a longstanding partnership with ION, and we’re pleased to offer our discerning institutional brokers the opportunity to migrate to GTP. As we continue to grow our global institutional business, GTP will be the primary vehicle for our institutional brokers and clients to trade electronically, using the trading GUI or the API.
- We are pleased to work with a renowned company like ION as we seek to further reinforce core business activities with advanced tools and solutions that drive efficiency through process unification and automation.
- While we continue to prioritize giving our clients access to highly experienced options brokers, this partnership with ION also establishes us as a digitally driven, retail consumer finance brand. Our goal is to combine the best of both worlds to help our clients further their investment objectives across cash equities, futures and options. After an exhaustive tender process, ION clearly stood head and shoulders above all other derivatives technology providers. We look forward to integrating the XTP Suite into OptionsDesk to complement our desk-broking services.
- Direct connectivity through the XTP Execution service will help to increase CEDX’s footprint across Europe ahead of its strategic expansion into single stock options. We are excited for ION’s clients to benefit from a transparent, efficient, and truly pan-European equity derivatives market, and accelerating towards our vision of creating the most complete equity derivatives ecosystem in Europe.
- A core pillar of my strategic growth plan for Sigma is the implementation of best-in-class systems to provide our clients with seamless execution. Sigma Broking is one of only eight Category 1 Ring Dealing members on the LME; ION’s XTP Execution further strengthens our front-office execution capabilities and infrastructure for trading commodities on the LME.
