About Us

Following further changes to the market structure after the introduction of the electronic order book (SETS) in 1998, the company offered its execution skills to a wider client base as an Execution Only broker. Advisory and Discretionary permissions have subsequently been added, allowing the company to offer a full range of services to both Institutional and Private Clients.
