"Wave's customers are increasingly demanding the best automated trading tools available, and for many that means Portware,” said Joe Lombard, President of Wave Securities. We have three installations near completion and look forward to working with Portware to expand that base in the coming months."

Our partnership with Wave will allow customers on the buy side to access this functionality through the Portware trade management system. We're excited for the industry to begin realizing the benefits of this partnership."
