Welcome to JonesTrading

Since 1975, the sole focus of JonesTrading has been creating liquidity for our institutional accounts. The ability to provide a secure, trusted platform connecting a diverse group of market players allows us to dig out hidden pockets of liquidity, providing best-quality execution for outsize blocks. Efficiency is our advantage. It has helped JonesTrading become the oldest and largest pure execution-only equity trading firm in the U.S., and a worldwide leader in equity block trading.

Our extensive Active Crossing Network of institutional clients enables us to reduce market impact by proactively matching buyers and sellers in the third market. In addition to our internal network, JonesTrading accesses all of the national stock exchanges, market makers, and ECNs, moving opportunistically between these markets to maximize liquidity while maintaining anonymity—all for the benefit of our clients.

JonesTrading is also a major provider of liquidity in the event-driven world, where we work as an active counterpart to the ECNs in achieving best execution for hedge funds, M&A specialists, and other risk arbitrage clients. Our unique position in the marketplace and unparalleled expertise enable us to craft the complex trade required to bring big blocks to the tape.

The success of our model shows in the numbers. We consistently achieve top rankings for best execution in industry surveys.
