GTS

GTS (Global Trading Systems) builds and operates a proprietary electronic trading and market-making platform that powers trading across more than 30,000 financial instruments globally. Founded in 2006 and headquartered in New York, with operations in the United States and Europe, the firm trades across global equities, ETFs, fixed income, futures and foreign exchange. Its technology underpins one of the largest electronic market-making operations in the United States, accounting for an estimated 3-5% of daily US cash equities volume.

Beyond continuous quoting across asset classes, GTS serves as a Designated Market Maker at the New York Stock Exchange, providing liquidity and orderly markets in listed securities. The firm serves many of the world's leading financial institutions and public companies, and has evolved from a proprietary quantitative trading firm into a participant in global markets more broadly.

The engineering work spans electronic market making, quantitative and algorithmic trading, proprietary trading technology and market microstructure. GTS states that it is guided by three core principles - Leadership, Innovation and Responsibility - with a stated mission of creating fair, efficient and transparent global markets through responsible innovation.
