The 2,000 asset managers and 500 brokers which make up the SGN community will now have the ability to directly access the Bernstein algorithmic trading suite.

Toby Bayliss, co-head of Sanford C. Bernstein's trading in Europe, said, "Connecting to the SunGard Global Network will extend our unconflicted electronic execution services and our algorithm offering to a broader global audience."
Raj Mahajan, president of SunGard's global trading business, said, "Trading in fragmented liquidity environments and high-frequency trading have amplified the need for algorithmic trading capabilities. SunGard can help firms connect with leading algorithmic solution providers and facilitate algo take-up. Bernstein's full algorithmic trading offering will be available to over 2,000 asset managers and more than 500 sell-side brokers worldwide."
