Commenting on the announcement, the Head of CFH Clearing’s Prime Brokerage and Clearing, Nick Mortimer, said, “This really bucks the trend where clients have found it increasingly difficult to maintain or enter the PB space due to increased capital requirements, trading conditions and costs.”

ClearConnect Liquidity will be available through a multitude of options - via direct API access, or through multiple platform interfaces including ClearPro, ClearWeb, Tradable, NetStation, ClearVision and third party applications such as MT4 and OlfaTrade’s SFX.
