Our Services

  • Our primary focus is on meeting client needs and exceeding expectations.
  • Our extensive network of coverage of global institutions, as well as Asian specialist funds, provides us ample opportunity to source unique liquidity.
  • We offer our clients high touch, relationship based coverage in a time when larger firms continue to scale back and emphasize technology at the expense of seniority. Experience and relationships are critical elements of making large trades a reality.
  • ECNs and other crossing platforms will match only what the system sees. Direct client contact is the best way to get a true liquidity picture. We are not merely matching two sides of a trade, we are making those trades happen.
  • Asia is an incredibly fragmented marketplace, our role is to remove those complexities and ensure a smooth execution from start to finish.
  • We provide our clients with anonymity, we minimize market impact and we execute at the best possible price for our clients.
