Jefferies will be sourcing its web-based technology from a new partner.
Thales Trading Solutions announced that it was selected by investment banking and brokerage firm Jefferies as a key technology partner to enhance and support its brokerage activities.
Thales, which has invested heavily in technology since its creation in 2012, has entered into a multi-year agreement with Jefferies. The agreement will equip Jefferies with an advanced web-based application to support its expanding client base in futures, options, and foreign exchange.
This partnership is seen as an important step for both firms looking to broaden their respective footprints in technology and global web-based brokerage.
“The alliance with Thales brings our clients cutting edge technology while still maintaining our unique brand and customer-first business model,” said Patrice Blanc, Jefferies Global Head of Futures.
Thales is a CFTC and NFA registered independent introducing broker that provides services to institutional investors, hedge funds, CTAs, commodity merchants, utilities, and family offices. The firm has offices in New York, Chicago and Greenwich, Connecticut.
