European Front Office of the Year

Triton, ITG’s execution management system, is principally designed to maximise opportunities for best execution. Judges found this objective to be particularly relevant given the regulatory and legislative emphasis placed on best execution in Europe. The judges also appreciated the product’s integrated architecture that provides multiple features in a single product, combining ITG’s analytics, connectivity and trading expertise and making them directly available on users’ desktops.

Additionally Triton provides direct broker-neutral access to global markets and has continued to expand its links with proprietary applications and the industry’s leading order management systems.
