Townsend Analytics, a leading provider of multi-broker, multi-asset, multi-region and multi-route electronic trading solutions for the global capital markets, has integrated equity algorithms from leading European broker Cheuvreux into Townsend's flagship Execution Management System (EMS), RealTick.
The suite of 11 European-specific trading strategies for equities is the latest addition to the Cheuvreux global electronic execution services available through RealTick since early 2004. Cheuvreux executes on 22 European markets across Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom, in addition to the recently launched alternative trading venue Chi-X. Cheuvreux also offers access to 14 North American markets.
"Our mutual clients already use RealTick for its multi-asset class trading facility and direct access to a wide variety of global markets," states Jerry Lees, Head of Execution Services for Cheuvreux. "Now they can immediately access our full array of advanced equity algorithms to accomplish their trading objectives on orders and transactions with Cheuvreux," he adds.
"We are pleased to be expanding upon our long-standing relationship with Cheuvreux," states Rustam Lam, Executive Director, Townsend Analytics. "Integrating their European-specific algorithms into RealTick complements our efforts to seamlessly deliver the best global sources of liquidity and electronic execution within a couple clicks of the mouse," he adds.
