The founders of the thinkorswim platform and the creators of tastytrade, the fastest-growing online financial network, have joined to combine a powerful yet easy-to-use technology with live, strategic content and a reduced fee structure to transform individual investors from passive to active market participants.
Were on a mission to debunk the myths around active vs. passive investing. We are redefining active trading to help individuals understand what it means to be active and help empower them to take control of their finances, said Kristi Ross, co-CEO and President of tastytrade. tastyworks will allow investors to leverage our fast technology and low fees that appropriately fit our trade small, trade often methodology that we research and discuss every day on air.
“tastyworks is built to be the next leap forward in the financial industry,” shared Tom Sosnoff, founder of thinkorswim and co-CEO of tastytrade, If you want to truly change decades of wealth destruction and excessive fee rip-offs supported by a culture of passive investing, then tastyworks gives you the complete package-technology, content and pricing. No mutual funds, annuities or fee based managed products will ever be offered or upsold at tastyworks.
Scott Sheridan, co-founder of thinkorswim and the new CEO of tastyworks, sees many reasons why active traders will choose the new broker. In 2000 we changed the financial landscape forever with the incredible design and technology we delivered in thinkorswim. tastyworks, with content and quantitative research driving the direction of the firm, is our new vision of finance. We set the bar with thinkorswim, and were doing it again with tastyworks.
The management, technology and content teams behind tasytworks have worked together for nearly 20 years, bringing unparalleled expertise in the retail trading space to make the self-directed investor even more competitive. Added Sosnoff, Wall St. sucks money from investors for no tangible benefit except for maintaining the highest profit margins of almost any industry sector. But when you pay $1 in commission to tastyworks, youll see it work for you in platform enhancements and ground-breaking content.
The positive response from our supporters has been overwhelming. We are incredibly excited about disrupting the industry one more time, said Sheridan.
