Broadridge has entered into an agreement to acquire CQG, a provider of futures and options trading, execution management, and market connectivity.
CQG will add complementary execution management, algorithmic trading, and analytics capabilities to Broadridge’s order management and client connectivity solutions, aiming to create an end-to-end trading suite for global futures and options markets.
The firm adds that the expanded offering is designed to better support the evolving needs of clients across a broad spectrum of segments, including futures commission merchants, institutional investors, retail brokers, proprietary trading firms, and hedge funds.
Clients will benefit from flexible, scalable solutions designed to support their growth objectives, accelerate speed to market, and deliver a powerful, fully integrated trading experience for both institutional and professional retail market participants, the firm notes.
The acquisition also accelerates Broadridge’s ongoing innovation strategy across asset classes, spanning futures and options, FX, and digital assets.
The firm says that by aligning CQG’s agile development approach with Broadridge’s global scale, it will result in the delivery of new functionality faster.
Under the agreement, Broadridge will acquire CQG’s core global trading technology business through the purchase of CQG, LLC and certain affiliated operating entities and assets.
Frank Troise, president of trading and connectivity solutions business at Broadridge, says: “The acquisition of CQG will accelerate Broadridge’s mission to deliver advanced, highly connected trading solutions on a global scale.
“Integrating CQG’s advanced execution management, analytics, and connectivity technologies with Broadridge’s leading order management and connectivity solutions will create a unified platform in futures and options that simplifies trading complexity, improves transparency and workflow efficiency, and enhances Broadridge’s digital asset trading capabilities.”
