Before every great trade comes color. Real color. It's the feel, a taste, a conversation—based on naturals—getting you to the true picture of what's out there. With decentralized markets and fragmented order flow, clear access to color is increasingly rare.

– Mr. Ron Spaeth, Head Trader

The collective experience of the traders in our network, combined with our unique active liquidity-sourcing model, is what makes best execution possible.

– Mr. Van Hutcherson, Managing Director and Branch Office Manager (Chicago)
Mr.Alan Hill, CFO

We secure advantageous prices, across the greatest number of issues, in a timely way, without revealing client intent. We remain neutral and clients remain anonymous, minimizing market impact and opportunity costs.

Why JonesTrading?

Our unique ability to help clients' trade large blocks in a trusted environment attracts one of the most diverse mixes of institutional clients anywhere. This heterogeneous trading community includes large traditional value managers as well as players in momentum, distressed, arbitrage, and long/short portfolios. JonesTrading achieves its high crossing rate by proactively bringing together the wide range of investment strategies represented by this diverse pool of market participants. Our sales traders are liquidity experts. While algorithms and ECNs have their roles, the passive nature of these tools makes them less than ideally suited for the completion of the large, complex trades, particularly in environments of high volatility. In contrast, JonesTrading sales traders come to each trade with the pulse of the market, using their insights to actively source liquidity and take trades to the tape.
