Remember the FINRA fine of CANT last week? Is this a bailout?
GTSM acquired CANT:
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--GTS, a leading electronic market maker across global financial instruments, today announced that it has entered into an agreement to acquire the Exchange Traded Funds (ETF) and wholesale market making businesses of Cantor Fitzgerald (“Cantor”), a global financial services firm. The transaction elevates GTS into the top-tier of global brokers with the potential to touch virtually every investing household in America and across the world.
“For the first time on a scale never seen before, the most sophisticated Wall Street technology is being deployed for mainstream investors, be they institutional or retail”
The unique combination of that business with GTS, which on many days trades upwards of six percent of all U.S. trading volume and is the largest Designated Market Maker (DMM) at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), ushers in a new era of technology access and innovation that will lower the costs of investing.
“For the first time on a scale never seen before, the most sophisticated Wall Street technology is being deployed for mainstream investors, be they institutional or retail,” said Ari Rubenstein, CEO and co-founder of GTS. “Investors around the world can now leverage the very best in machine learning, artificial intelligence and execution technology to help them save money whenever they trade and invest. This is an unprecedented opportunity for investors that unites unrivaled innovation with pioneering client service – while enhancing the capital raising opportunities for listed companies.”
Stacey Cunningham, president of the New York Stock Exchange said, “The NYSE and our partners embody the synthesis of technology and human judgment, leading to the best possible outcome for investors and issuers.”
Reginald Browne commented on today’s announcement, “We are creating a new standard together that will marry technology and capital deployment to create robust efficiency for client access across all asset classes. Public companies want to be sure there is access to deep pools of liquidity and transparency they can trust. And in a similar fashion, investors want to engage in the capital markets in the most cost-efficient manner possible. GTS responsibly uses technology to deliver positive benefits to the entire financial markets ecosystem.”
Joe Pleffner also commented, “We are extremely excited to combine our wholesale trading platform with GTS’ world-class infrastructure to provide a holistic, flexible and sustainable offering to enhance the retail client experience.”
At the NYSE, GTS is responsible for the trading in more than 900 public companies that have a total market capitalization of approximately $13 trillion dollars. Listed securities include blue chip companies ranging from ExxonMobil (NYSE: XOM) and Ford (NYSE: F) to international companies such as Alibaba (NYSE: BABA) to leading global technology companies like Oracle (NYSE: ORCL) and AT&T (NYSE: T).
Rubenstein concluded, “This partnership is another step in GTS’ mission to build out its global capital markets business and to put its premier trading technology to use for all of those who may benefit, in order to truly democratize access to our markets for all who participate.”
The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2019. Terms were not disclosed.
Rosenblatt Securities advised GTS on the transaction.
