We are pleased to announce that Institutional Investor has selected Tradebook’s CEO, Raymond Tierney III, as the #3 Trading Technology Innovator in its annual Trading Technology 40 survey. This distinction is a direct result of Ray’s vision, since he took the helm of Tradebook in 2010, and underscores the significant investments Tradebook has made into upgrading technology, releasing new products and implementing an innovative execution consultant service model. Under Ray’s leadership, Tradebook has made steady market share gains in all asset classes and has consistently been ranked as a top 5 execution broker in US and non-US equities in Institutional Investor’s execution league tables (2011, 2012, 2013).

Successful trading strategies are built on a solid understanding of the macro and micro structure of the financial markets. “The electronic evolution we have seen in equities is spreading to other asset classes, and we are planning for that,” says Ray.
