Rosenblatt Securities is an agency-only brokerage firm that has been sharing its trading expertise with institutional customers by providing conflict-of-interest free execution services and advice since 1979. Rosenblatt minimizes the impact of block and program trades by accessing all major liquidity pools with a deep understanding of how they operate. However, Rosenblatt has always believed that its responsibility goes beyond merely executing orders and helps clients navigate an increasingly complex and fragmented equity marketplace, offering concrete recommendations about changes to their own trading strategies and tactics. Rosenblatt has also been at the forefront of embracing automation to enhance the self-sufficiency of the buy-side, including inventing DMA over fifteen years ago when it introduced nonmember DOT on the NYSE. Rosenblatt’s thought leadership extends beyond market structure issues and includes transaction cost analysis that is truly integrated with the investment process. www.rblt.com |
