PDF format
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 19, 2006--ITG Solutions Network, a
wholly owned subsidiary of Investment Technology Group, Inc. (NYSE:
ITG), today announced that it will provide enhanced connectivity to
Pipeline from the Macgregor Order Management Network (OMN).
This advanced level of integration between Macgregor XIP(TM) and
Pipeline enables dynamic updates and interoperability between the two
systems, maximizing the opportunities for capturing liquidity
available in the Pipeline ATS. Macgregor OMN clients will now have
access to the full functionality of the Pipeline application with
automatic synchronization between Pipeline and Macgregor XIP.
"Our goal is to provide customers using the Macgregor(R) product
with a comprehensive solution for accessing liquidity across multiple
venues," said Ian Domowitz, ITG Solutions Network's Chief Executive
Officer. "We are pleased to announce this alliance with Pipeline to
provide enhanced access to Pipeline's functionality and liquidity."
"This integration with Macgregor is providing traders an
unprecedented combination of simplicity and control over
multi-destination execution strategies," said Fred Federspiel,
President and Founder of Pipeline. "The power to deliver unmatched
fill rates on giant blocks inside the spread can now be seamlessly
incorporated into any strategy for participating in the retail-sized
markets."
This functionality is currently available to customers using the
Macgregor OMN. Interested customers should contact their Macgregor
sales representative.
